Updating page numbers automatically

[TBA]

How do I fix it so that the page numbers in the table of contents update automatically when I adjust the pages in one or more chapters?

The highlighted note in the Help seems to indicate that there is no automatic update for the TOC(s):

I don't think that's talking about the Book function in V2, which allows structuring a book into multiple .afpub files, but about having multiple TOCs in a single .afpub file.

The help talks about "chapters", as the OP requested. – (On the same page: "Using multiple TOCs […] for each chapter of a book.")

However, does your hint mean that there is an automatic TOC update but only if chapters are saved as separate files, – or something else?

That sentence in Help needs to be rewritten for v2 - it was written this way for the v1 Help before the introduction of Books and Chapters. When it refers to "chapters", it isn't referring to an Affinity Chapter document.

Back to the original question. If you have created an Affinity Book using the New Book feature, the TOC page numbers will update automatically. Set the TOC scope to Book, choose Synchronize from the Books panel menu to sync your page numbers, and update the TOC.
