how to add large number of RoboHelp docs to SharePoint version control

I'm on RH11, and some version of SharePoint of which I'm not sure. I'm able to add one document at a time to SharePoint version control from within RH (File > Version Control), but I need to have about 49,000 with version control in RoboHelp.  I was able to get the files into SharePoint, but now I need to get RoboHelp to be handle the large number of files.

How do I get RoboHelp to give version control to a large number of documents at once?

Are you talking about individual files or projects? I assume individual files, since 49,000 projects may be a bit on the heavy side.

If you add a project to version control, RoboHelp will add all the files to SharePoint. This will take quite a bit of time (set RH to add it before you go out for lunch or before you go home). In the end, you can check in the entire project with a single click. Or are you seeing something else?

You can always manipulate RH's .apj files to very quickly add loads of files to a project. If you have the files in SharePoint, you can update the FPJ files (Use the following script: Missing topics fixer). Then remove the CPD and start the project.

Yes, it was files, about 15 projects, but now I have to get RoboHelp to connect to SharePoint, and that's something I haven't figured out.  Everything is nicely in SharePoint, but it's one error message after another trying to get RoboHelp to allow version control.  I can open SharePoint files within RoboHelp, but I can't get the versioning to work.
