Publisher: TOC panel stopped letting me choose what (headlilne 1, headline 2, etc) to use for the TOC

[ultramartin]

I was trying to customize my TOC for a while and then suddenly Affinity seems to have disappeared the list of elements to include in the TOC (the list with the checkboxes that used to be below where it says Style Name. I have tried to remoce my TOC and create a new one, but it doesn't help. How can I bring it back?

Hi @ultramartin,

With one of the Book Chapters selected as the Style Source Chapter in the Books panel hamburger menu, if you select Synchronise Settings... and ensure Text Styles is ticked and you then click Synchronise Now, does that update the ToC panel to show the relevant Text Styles you wish to use for your Table of Contents?

Hi @Hangman,

Thanks for replying! I did the steps you suggest, but it doesn't change the ToC panel: I still don't have the list of styles to include with check boxes next to them.

Hi @ultramartin,

Can you upload your Publisher file(s) and .afbook file so we can take a look (assuming you're working with a Book and Chapter files)?

[ultramartin]

I do notice that if I just create a new page with a new document to insert into the book, and create a new ToC in this new document, then everything is back to normal. So maybe it's a glitch/bug?

@Hangman Here are the files. (I didn't include the images, but I assume that shouldn't make any difference on this particular problem.)

Hi @ultramartin,

Many thanks for the files...

The only Chapter that includes a text style is Planting, so there will only be one entry in the ToC. The Planting Chapter is set as the current Style Source Chapter, so the previous instructions should work...

@Hangman I still couldn't get it to work, but then I remembered that I had previously, under the Text Styles panel for the ToC document (on the right hand side of the screen), asked to Detach and Delete All Styles. So now I tried "Import Styles..." and chose the Planting document in the pop up window, and that fixed it.

@ultramartin,

Perfect, I'm glad you've managed to fix the problem... thanks for letting us know.
