When a topic contains many reusable elements (those with IDs) added in the Reusable panel, some elements may not be accessible because of fixed container height. (GUIDES-37220)

In the Assets search, sub-assets and metadata nodes (such as images and PDFs) are incorrectly included in the results. Additionally, for an output preset when DITAVAL filters are applied, the search returns internally generated DITAVAL files created from condition presets. (GUIDES-35418)

When generating AEM Sites output, the map titles containing keywords and topic titles with <ph> element are not getting included in the published output. (GUIDES-36641)
When publishing using a custom preset with content that contains links to PDFs without the scope set as external, the process fails to complete. (GUIDES-21708)
When performing bulk activation, the package creation adds filters for all paths listed under the fileReference property of a page, including external and peer paths. (GUIDES-24887)
In Native PDF output, the abbreviated-form element displays the glossterm instead of the designated glossSurfaceForm or glossAcronym. (GUIDES-26393)
For Native PDF output, the <alt> element for images is ignored, preventing alternate text from being applied for accessibility. (GUIDES-29087)
When downloading temporary files for a map with a baseline during publishing for a preset, the metadata.xml file incorrectly references the versionPath instead of the dampath.(GUIDES-29815)
When creating or editing a topic that includes a citation, if the Author field is not added in the citation dialog, the PDF is not generated. (GUIDES-37934)
The CSS file (rhdefault.css) gets incorrectly applied to the PDF template despite no CSS being referenced, causing missing CSS file error logs.(GUIDES-31752)

When attempting to save a topic or map, the operation may intermittently fail with a Failed to save file error, particularly during intensive asset processing tasks or translation workflows running in the background. (GUIDES-37837)
Using scope="external" for a reference to DAM content within a topic or map causes the asset’s relative path to be substituted with a GUID. (GUIDES-38783)

Adobe has identified the following known issues for the 2026.01.0 release:

When an in-review topic is removed from an ongoing review task, its document state continues to remain In Review, even though the topic is no longer part of any review task. (GUIDES-38709)
Workaround: Change the document state of the topic from In Review to the appropriate state from the Properties page or File properties panel.
When performing a search using Find and replace, if you open a file from the search results, close it, and then attempt to reopen it by selecting the listed result, the file fails to reopen. (GUIDES-39050)
Workaround: Open any other file from the search results first, then reopen the previously closed file from the list to resolve the issue.
When using Guides with DB server, for content that includes self-references, the Topic list report displays invalid entries for each self-reference, resulting in an inaccurate file count. (GUIDES-39420)
