Frameless Skin RoboHelp 2022 - sub sections not indenting

I have created a Responsive Frameless Skin in RoboHelp 2022. I cannot figure out how to get my sub books (called sections in RoboHelp 2022) to indent under parent books (called sections in RoboHelp 2022). Instead all books are aligned left after I generate. For example, if Folder Two should be under Folder One, how do I modify the skin to ensure it is indented slightly to the right when Folder One is expanded just like Topic One and Topic Two are indended?

Thank you!

In the image of the template editor that you posted, did you make any changes there? I have never used that but theoretically it could force this issue.

Create a new template, label it Studio2 and select that in the preset. Do not customise it at all. See what you get then.

This is what I get with a virgin Studio template. Folder Two indented.

I'm pretty sure I selected Studio.

Sorry but I had no idea how long you have been using RoboHelp until you told us and showing the skin editor was so wrong, it seemed like a rookie issue.

Let's check I am following.

Here Folder Two is indented.

In the output you should see this with that structure.

Instead you are seeing Folder Two at the same level as Folder One.

Please confirm that is the issue. If it is, then please locate the About RoboHelp sample project and test that works OK. RoboHelp creates two copies of the samples on installation.

The copy to use is put in My RoboHelp Projects in the Documents folder that Windows creates in your profile.
Another copy goes into Program Files and should never be run from there as Windows will block some of the functionality. The idea of the copy in Program Files is that it is a clean back up if you need to replace the copy in Documents.

Yes, what you described above is what occurs when I generate using the Frameless Skin. I created a Frameless Skin (Responsive).

Yes but which one?

You need to be in the TOC editor. Here folder two is inline. If I click the arrow, it will be indented.

Yes, I have the sub books indented in my TOC. But they all align left when I generate using the frameless Skin. I've used RoboHelp for 23 years and never had this issue in earlier versions of RoboHelp.
