sync styles in book seems to duplicate styles in groups

Having paragraph styles in groups seems like a cool idea, potentially useful.

However, it seems that syncing styles in the book will create copies of the grouped styles outside the groups.

That makes a mess, with styles everywhere..

Am I doing it wrong?

Correct answer Jay Maechtlen

After cleaning extra styles out from the various docs and re-syncing, I am not seeing the issue.

So it must have been user error.

Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully these will help others as well.

Hi Jay:

It will if the names don't match exactly—same case, same spelling, same spacing. Can you show us the results?

I can see that "Heading 1 - Orange" has a variant with different spacing, but the issue is that these were copied from the "3 Style Group Headings" group to outside the group.

I will try the "select unused function on each of the docs, maybe that will be useful.

Another thing besides style names, be sure to select Smart Match Style Groups in your book's synchronize options.
