Question

Any way to safely delete unused styles in a project?

Hi experts.

Is there a way to determine the unused styles in an entire project, then safely delete them? When I start deleting a style, the prompt just asks if I'm sure I want to delete it. There's nothing like "Wait! this style is used at least one topic. If you delete this style, the text will be formatted with <some default?> style."

Related question: Is there a way to locate topics in which a particular style is used?

Thanks!

Sorry but the answer is no.

Use something like TextCrawler to search through your code for topics containing the style name.

You could use it to find a style and change it to the replacement.
