Pages Tab doesn't show preview of what is on my pages:

 

 

How do I change this? I'd like to view like this:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

 In the Page panel go to the flyout menu, select "Panel Options" In the Panel Options make sure that Pages Show Thumbnails is checked on.

Do as Mike suggested, and note you can also change the size of the page previews, to Medium or Large or Extra Large--even Jumbo! 🙂

My page previews are not showing the thumbnails at all. I hope someone here knows how to get it back. 

I've restarted, shut down, opened the file as an idml. But still not showing anything in the page tab. I'm not able to upgrade to the next InDesign. I'm working in 15.1.3.

Hi cfishman,

in this case it would help to trash and restore either InDesign cache files and/or InDesign preferences when InDesign is not open or started. See:
