Title: Internal references are gone after copying frames from one document to an other
Post by: Flaxx on March 19, 2026, 10:02:59 PM
Hi there,

In order to share our work we are deviding a monthly newsletter in three parts and it's my part compiling it to a single sla before exporting the result. Mostly I need to rearrange the containing text frames (a bunch of small articles).

The main file contains usually a chess problem that finally should refer to another page showing the solution. It works perfectly when I'm placing the mark and the reference to it myself, but if I'm copying the related text frames from a file where it worked to my compilation (the same source file, BTW) no page number is shown anymore.

Okay, my solution is, separating the frame that should show the page reference and leave it away when copying the rest. Same with the solution page containing the text mark. It's just more work.

A can find the given name of this mark in the source sla, but it doesn't work.
Now I'm asking, is it a bug or a feature (I know, it's still experimental).

A related question that might lead to a feature request:
I didn't find a way finding out where marks and similar elements are placed, only that there should be something somewhere. I wish it would be possible making them visible like TABs, spaces, etc.
