I've lost Compose Documentation on IDEA. Any idea how to get it back?

Looks like sources are missing, maybe invalidate caches and reload the Gradle project

[Alex Styl]

@Edoardo Luppi thanks! It worked. I invalidated all caches and restarted. Why does it work though?

[Edoardo Luppi]

The mysteries of the IntelliJ platform. We'll never know why indexes got corrupted.

[Alex Styl]

i dont mind it breaking. im trying to understand how it works.

is it the 'downloaded shared indexes' that were broken you think?

[Alex Styl]

what do those indexes do

[Edoardo Luppi]

is it the 'downloaded shared indexes' that were broken you think?

No I don't think so. Sometimes the "link" between an artifact (e.g., a jar or klib file) and its sources go missing. That's the part I still can't explain to myself.
Removing the cache - which lets the IDE re-index all available files - and re-opening the IDE fixed the attached sources.

Shared indexes are another thing entirely. They basically avoid wasting your time for indexing locally, by providing pre-built indexes.

[Edoardo Luppi]

Personally, I never use shared indexes.
