Hello everyone! I am hoping that someone will be able to assist me. I am working in RH 9 and i have received the following error when i select to resolve my broken links. "You cannot resore a topic that would be outside the project folder. Please make sure feferences are to the project folder then try restoring the topics." Can anyone assist with this error? I have checked my folders and the source and line files are in the correct folders. Thank you in advance.

    When you say that you checked, what do you mean? If you mean that you see them when viewing the folders in Windows Explorer - it could mean for some reason that RoboHelp "lost" the connection with in the project itself. I have seen this happen in the past - no idea why - and what I've done to correct it was simply to "re-import" the files -even though they exist in the folder.

    DId you move the files within the project?

    In any case, try File > Import and select the HTML files and see if this "fixes" the broken links.

    Is the source topic showing in Project Manager or just Windows Explorer? If only the latter, you need to reimport it into the project first.

    You also refer to "line files". What are they?
