Applied Skin lost for all topics

Hi all,

I was playing around with my project's default skin and after I saved I saw a message appear near the bottom of the screen that said "Applying skin...". It went through and updated all of my topics with the new settings. I then wanted to revert the changes back again because I didn't like the result, but it didn't re-apply the changes again after I saved. I have tried restarting RH, reloading topics and the only way it appears that I can resolve it is to go into the topic properties, remove the skin and reapply it. This is very time consuming in such a large project!

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to manually ask RH7 to apply a skin to all / many topics at once?

Regards,

If you change to the Topics tab (right hand side in RH6) then you can select multiple topics using the normal windows Ctrl and Shift options. Right-click and select Properties, and on the General tab you can select a template which will be applied to all selected topics.

You cannot apply a skin to a topic. What are you seeing in Topic Properties that affects skins?

Skins are applied to a layout when you generate the help.

Hi Peter,

Sorry I meant templates, not skins!

I always get confused between templates and skins, sorry!

I have gone through and re-applied my template to each topic, but for future reference do you know a way to apply a template to many topics at once?
