Online Film has Film number missing from Catalog
Within a family tree, I found the following link to the (1922?) Magre “allegati” https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C34L-Y9CT-6 . The information tab has “No catalog records are available.”
I would have expected to find it in something like the following collection: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/2999338. Nevertheless, although the film is clearly online, the film number 106166778 does not seem be known to the catalog.
How is his possible?

@TreeFae The relatively high number 106166778 indicates a recent addition to the collections. The main catalog is not always up-to-date with the newest items.
Checking in Images is always my first action when I see a number that is not in the catalog. Sure enough, in Images I found the Matrimoni Allegati from 1922 on 106166778.

Hope this helps. You can search for a DGS number from the Images option at https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/

Thank you so much for responding … :-)
The link to this film had been added to a tree in Nov 2022, so nearly three years ago. And, the first change date in the images option was way back in Feb 2019. I'm not sure whether I would call that recent, especially as there are higher numbers already to be found in the catalog. I suppose that the more important films would be cataloged first and these "lesser" films will be processed whenever there is time available.
I have to be honest that (by accident) I had become aware of the "Images" option a few years ago, but it isn't something that I have played with very much … I'll have to go and have good look at it now in case I'm missing out on other stuff.

The main catalog was locked - not updated - for about 3 years. Updates have recently been made, but it will take time to clear the backlog.
