Hi, Thanks for reading.
Problem: Presets and edits used on photos won't export
Environment: LRC 12.3 Build 202304101834-a08245c, on MacBook Pro 2015 with macOS Monterey 12.6.5
Workflow steps:
I had no trouble with this workflow until a couple of days ago. Any ideas why this is happening? Anything else I could try? Also when I export as TIFF file all edits show OK, but I want to avoid the excessive file size with TIFF. I appreciate your help, experience, and expertise! Thank you.

This is as expected. If you export as DNG, then Lightroom will export the unaltered raw data as a new DNG and save the edits in the metadata of that DNG. Because this is a new DNG, updating the preview is useless. That updates the preview of the original DNG only. Because very few apps (except Adobe apps) can read these metadata, non-Adobe apps will show an unedited image. Why don't you just upload the original DNG rather than exporting a new copy? That will upload a DNG with a preview that does show the edits...
