Question

Book module - all pages lot

I have been working on a book of about 120 pages, and suddenly all the pages and content have disappeared.  I'm left with just a few blank pages , similar to when you start a new book.

 

I don't understand what has happened.  On the LH side in the Collections panel, the collection is stil there, and as the book name shows as a sub collection with a book icon next to it.  In the film strip, all the photos I used have a 1 over them.  Surely this shows that the pages still exist somewere?

 

In another thread, I read to click on the 2 icon in the filmstrip.  But this opens a new window with just the selected photo.  Wthin the same collection, a different version of the book remains intact.  

 

 I have tried opening an old version of the catalogue and that didn't help.  I'm certain that I didn't delete any pages, I feel that I must have switched the view or mis-clicked something, I was working on the cover at the time,

 

Grateful for help in recovering my pages.

Hi @CathrynRees

 

We’re truly sorry to hear about the lost work—that can be incredibly frustrating. We're hopeful we can help you recover it. 

 

Could you please share a few more details to help us investigate?

  • Your operating system and the version of Lightroom you're using

  • A few screenshots showing what you’re seeing

  • Whether you're using any sync services like OneDrive or Google Drive

 

With this information, we’ll do our best to help you find your work.

I have the same kind of problems. Lost my book several times. In general meaning this module is very unstable and not very reliable. I find it even worst than it has been in the past. My two questions are the following :

- will Adobe put an interest on this module and will it evolve? or is it just a marketing gadget?

- is there a recommandation not to use images of a file that is synch using a drive (in my case One Drive - images I use are local but they belong to a directory that is synch using One Drive)
