## Do I Need to Change My Design?

No. The issue is with the conversion, not your original file. You do not need to edit your Canva design, InDesign document, or any other source file. Just replace and troubleshoot.

## Tips

* If the issue reappears after a future replacement, just run through the same steps — Replace, then Troubleshoot.

* The Troubleshoot button is only visible in Preview mode after your booklet has been converted.
