When exporting from InDesign CC 2019 on Windows 10 to ePub an “ePub Export Warnings” window appears and lists several text anchor, TOC text anchor, index page entry, and external text anchor “not found” warnings. I would like to fix those warnings.
I can select the contents of the window and attempt to copy and paste into notepad to use as a guide. Nothing pastes. Is there a way to capture the warnings so I can have a list of what needs fixing?
Then, what is the best way to go about finding and fixing the warnings (ideally in ID so the fixes don;t have to be applied manually after every export)?

I’m not sure what Adobe uses for those warnings, it seems there’s always a pop up with something no matter how cleanly I format my books, and, well, I do a lot of cleanup on the back end so my exported file is never the final product. Sorry I guess I’m not much help when it comes to the ID export warnings.
If you are going for clean and valid ePub files to upload to vendors I would download either epubcheck (command line) or Epub Checker (GUI frontend for epubcheck, drag and drop format). epubcheck is the gold standard validation tool to make sure your files are valid to the epub specifications before you send it out.

This is one of the things that drives me crazy about ID’s ePub export. On the Mac, the error dialog isn’t even resizable, so the only way I was able to get the error list was to capture-screen/scroll/capture-screen/scroll/capture-screen/scroll… ugh.
ePub Checker (and other tools) are necessary and good, but seeing what trips ID up is an important start.
