How does the Set as Favortes button work in RH 2020 Frameless output?

Hi all, I'm trying to understand how the set as favories button works in the frameless output from the new RoboHelp 2020. I saw a training video which indicated that topics where this button has been clicked (which changes the ribbon icon from an outline to filled with colour) can be found on a list in the browser somewhere, but I can't find this anywhere. The topics don't seem to be bookmarked or added to my favorites list. I've tried Chrome and Microsoft Edge. It may be operator error on my part in using the browser rather than an issue with RH 2020, but could anyone please explain what is supposed to happen?

It is not a bookmark in your browser. The idea is that when your readers go to your help they click the Favourites icon and see it added to Favourites within your help in the right hand panel.

 

Go to RoboHelp Tour Introduction (grainge.org) and click the icon. You will see it listed below.

Many thanks Peter, I understand it now from your example project. I don't seem to have the Favourites option enabled in my output skin (Dark). I'll see if I can add that now as without it the Set as Favourites button is somewhat redundant.
