Left Side TOC and Breadcrumbs disappeared/not working

While customizing WHR output yesterday and making changes primarily to a copy of header.xml I noticed that once I click through to a topic/page the side toc and breadcrumbs no longer appear. I have rechecked all settings and even tried several other unaltered WHR outputs and I no longer get either the left side TOC or breadcrumbs for ANY webhelp responsive output.
I had numerous files open in Oxygen yesterday and can only assume I accidentally changed something somewhere. (Possibly within org.dita.html5?).
Any ideas are welcome.
(If I could download an unaltered copy of the DITA-OT from your installer I could troubleshoot and isolate the file causing the issue, but without that I'm stuck.)

Hi,

You can download only the Oxygen Publishing Engine (which contains DITA-OT plus Oxygen plugins already installed); this is included in any Oxygen XML Editor/Author/Developer product.
Depending on your version of Oxygen, you can find the download links here: To proceed, simply unzip the Publishing Engine archive. You can then compare it with your DITA-OT directory using the comparison tools available in Oxygen.

We advise not to modify the DITA-OT bundled with Oxygen. Instead, you can reference an external Oxygen Publishing Engine in the DITA preferences page and make your customizations within that external instance.
If you need any further clarifications, please let us know.

Best regards,
Marius
