Question

Headers and Footers all replaced by Single Header, can I rollback!!!

I have recently started to edit a project, with which is an enterprise WebHelp site with approximately one thousand topics. When I went to "Save All" a Headers and Footers information box came up. With 2 choices, the default choice being the first....

"This topic was created from a Master Page and the header or footer has been modified. What would you like to do: 

1. Apply this modification to all topics created from the Master Page

or

2. Apply this modification to this topic only

Note: Choosing this option will remove the link to the Master Page"

I presumed that the default selection would just save my work and compile webhelp.

Unfortunately, the first choice applied the one heading to every topics page. 

Can I rollback the last compiled webhelp so that Headers go back ?

    I'm guessing that is an older Classic version. It was a particularly annoying issue that I think was eventually fixed.

    I assume you're using Classic Robohelp of some version number, not New UI. If not post back with the full version number.

     

    Assuming Classic RH, I think you will need to either go back to your last backup and redo your changes since the backup, or manually remove the header information from every topic.

     

    Another way would be to get the help of a developer to write a regex to remove the required code - I recommend you do this in NotePad++ or a similar text editor rather than the RH Classic Find and Replace window, as the text editors are more reliable for regex. Another good option is Textcrawler, but I assume your developers will have access to their preferred text editor, so it would be easier to use that.

    Thank you for your reply. Considered those options you supplied. But in the end we looked at the Master File and applied a previous one to the latest compiled project.
