Can someone help me.

I'm preparing my book in indesign as an epub file.

I make changes to my CSS file using Sigil in the style file. Then I save the changes to the CSS.
When I view them in Sigil or in Adobe Digital Editions from the new Sigil-created epub, the changes look fine.

But when I load my chapter.indd files in Indesign, none of the changes I made to the CSS in Sigil will appear. Plus, when I export from Indesign to make a new ebook file, I keep wiping out CSS changes I made in Sigil.

What am I doing wrong? Am I supposed to be re-compressing my Sigil altered files into a new zip file or something? I thought Sigil saved them automatically so they'd appear also in my indd files.
How can I keep the changes, for example a CSS created drop cap, so that they show up in my indesign files?

Thanks, - Michael
