TOC missing in Kobo Reader

I've created my own pub in Sigil. It loads into Apple Books with no problem on my iPad and looks fine to me.

On my Kobo it all works except there is no TOC. It has only one entry, the title of the book. In Apple books the TOC appears as expected.

I'm talking about the built-in TOC opened from the reader's menu, not the in-line one.

Thanks.

Did you make an NCX type TOC.

(I don't think this is required)
Also, did you do a second connect.
I do know that if you change the structure of the book and send it again, you need to use Kobo Utilities Plugin to update the Kobo (it puts the TOC it uses into the DB) or you can get a ABEND if it tries for an non-existent section

If you created an epub2 file, it should have a NCX file which you can check to see if it has all the ToC entries.

If you created a epub3 file, by default, it will have a NAV document (html file). If you sent the ePub to your Kobo as an .epub, you will need to create a NCX file using the Epub3 Tools => Create NCX/Guide for epub2 e-readers. If you sent it as a .kepub.epub, it will use the NAV document.
