Description Jim Avera 2025-10-25 19:49:50 UTC
Description:
(as of Oct 25, 2025)

At https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/ug/text/scalc/guide/cell_protect.html
there is a "Related Topics" menu.  

The first item is "Protect Sheet", with URL https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/ug/text/shared/01/Protect.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX

...but clicking it does not show anything about Protecting sheets; it displays a generic table of contents and what appears to be copyright legalese.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/ug/text/scalc/guide/cell_protect.html
2. Click "Protect Sheet" link under "Related Topics" near the bottom

Actual Results:
A generic table of contents appears (see attached screenshot)

Expected Results:
Docs which say how to protect a sheet


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:

I confirm the bug with online Help.

The weird thing is I don't reproduce this when building help locally and indeed 
./source/text/shared/01/Protect.xhp is present on helpcontent2 repository.
