Can a hierarchical book file (nested books in folders) be updated? Not working for me.

FRAME 12, first folder holds a .fm file, the other folders  hold books.  On a book update only the first folder is updated.  If I exclude it, FRAME

tells me no file to update.  Net/net is FRAME is not updating the hierarchy.  Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks!

    Correct answer jfkeegan

    You create a book file, and within that master book, you add other book files. In your case, I would test if having multiple files in the first folder or a book in there has any impact on the updating process.


    Oddly enough after I opened all files in the hierarchical book,  the update worked.  And continued working after i saved/closed all the files. So thanks!

    Sorry, never played with folders in any of my projects, but I CAN tell you it works with the "master book of books" feature.

    And how do I access that feature?
