Question

Red circle with line through it when trying to pull down pages in the page panel

For some reason I am unable to add pages by pulling down Parent Pages in the Pages Panel. I am also not able to move the pages freely using the Selection Tool. This just started this morning. I closed and opened another document and the same thing is happening. The only way I can add or move pages is with the Move Pages box. 

 

Facing pages is NOT on.

 

PLEASE HELP!

InDesign version (exact, not just 2025)?

OS type and version (exact version, not just Sequoia or Windows 11)?

InDesign v20.1

The 24H2 update is wreaking havok with InDesign. See https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/selection-tool-issue-in-indesign-2025/td-p/15141238 for some possible solutions.


Please be more specific when referring to Windows updates.

Windows 11 is the major VERSION.

24H2 is the minor VERSION.

KV5050094, release on Jan. 28th, is the actual UPDATE that is causing problems. 

Options to fix include:

  • Run a repair on Windows.
  • Roll back to an earlier update (Dec. update KB5048667 did not seem to cause any issues)
  • Update to the new KB5051987 updates released Feb. 11th.
