How to close an expanded thread when a book is clicked?

One feature that has been requested by my clients is that when viewing the generated Robohelp product when a book is clicked any expanded books close. That way only one book will ever be expanded.

Does anyone know if this is possible in Robohelp 8?

Hi there

Whether or not this is possible will depend on your output format. If you are creating Microsoft HTML Help (CHM) it's possible by configuring the TOC a specific way. If you are creating any other type of output, I've never seen it happen so am going to conclude it's not possible. Although I'm not 100% sure about AIR Help. I think AIR Help produces an Accordian type of TOC, so it may be possible there. I'm not sure because I don't use that output format.

Cheers... Rick
