Emply Link View after project upgrade to RoboHelp7

Question

I have used RoboHelp X5 for years and we just upgraded to
RoboHelp 7. We have put our project in RoboSource Control 3 to
share it among muliple users. Since that time I have discovered
that our Link View is now empty. It was populated prior to our
upgrade,and now only one icon (The topic icon) is displayed with
none of the previously set links displayed. I am sure hoping I do
NOT have to recreate the links in RoboHelp7 that were previously
created in X5. Any insights would surely be appreciated.

Hi there whoever you are. (Odd forum handle there. Did the cat jump on the keyboard?

I think you are seeing a slight change in behavior. In version X5 and prior, Link View would automatically be displaying an arbitrary topic page. I'm not sure I ever did manage to sort how it determined which topic to show. Then version 6 changed the playing field for the better, by automatically displaying the topic currently open in the WYSIWYG editor. But RoboHelp 7 dramatically changes the field a bit by offering the ability to edit multiple topics at the same time. So I believe the Link View behavior was changed. If you open it generically, it doesn't display a topic. But if you click and drag topics into it, (Or right-click them and choose the Link View) their links should display in this view.

Cheers... Rick
