Markdown files that were on issues before the app was installed never show on the global page

What you are seeing

Markdown files that were on issues before the app was installed do not show on the global page.


#Why it happens

There is no backfill and no scheduled reindex. An issue is only indexed when a .md file is added to or removed from it while the app is installed and licensed.


#What to do

Add or remove any .md file on the issue, for example by re-uploading the file, to make the issue appear. The issue panel itself is unaffected and always shows the file.

What happens

Global page results per fetch

50 issues

The Capable Markdown page loads 50 issues at a time; 'Show more' fetches the next page.


#A few things that catch people out

  • One change is enough: each time a .md file is added or removed, the app recounts every .md file on that issue.

  • Adding a file of another type does not update the index.
