# 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 never show on the global page.

---

## Why it happens

There is no backfill and no scheduled reindex. The index is written only when an attachment is created or deleted after installation.

---

## What to do

Re-upload the file (or delete and re-add it) to make the issue appear. The issue panel itself is unaffected and will always show the file.

## Limits that apply here

| **Limit**                     | **Value**    | **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.                  |
| Background job time budget    | 25 seconds   | The function that recalculates the Markdown index per issue must complete within 25 seconds.             |
| Raw HTML in Markdown          | Not rendered | The viewer strips HTML and sanitises output, so HTML tags embedded in a Markdown document do not render. |
