I am using Framemaker 11 and testing with robohelp 2015 trial version. I successfully generated the responsive html5 output. I then updated a few things in the source framemaker files. In the Project tab I selected the Update option and it seemed to be updating but when I generated the output the updates were not displayed, it showed me what my last output was prior to the updates. How do I sync up the updated FM files with the my robo project?

IIRC, you would need to be using the TechComm Suite Versions with FM11 as there still was a "secret sauce" that allowed FM to properly communicate with RH. With FM12, this restriction was lifted. You could try doing this with a trial version of FM2015. Note: with FM12, the Publish component incorporates many RH features and you can directly create responsive HTML5 output from FM without the need for RH (though you have more granularity and control using RH).

So you are telling me that I have to start a new project in order for my RH output to reflect the latest FM source files? Oy. Ok well I made a lot of style customizations regarding para and character headings and various other things in the RH settings. Could I start a new project and then duplicate my RH settings in the new project via a RH tool or setting?

I saw this after reply to your other thread. I don't think Arnis is saying you have to start a new project, rather you have to open it in a different version.
