I can't find the Single Source Layout pod in the new Robohelp 2015 trial version

It isn't listed under the pod options. My layout doesn't seem to match the one described in the help files. How can I insert breakcrumbs into my file?

    Try clicking the upper right corner of RoboHelp where it says "Workspace" and choose Classic.

    All better now?

    Hi,

    You can find SSL pod under Output Tab.

    For Breadcrumbs->Open a Topic and go to Insert tab:

    You can also insert Breadcrumbs in MasterPage and apply that MasterPage to all topic through SSL.

    Thanks and Regards,

    (Oops. I see Rick already answered, but I'll post this anyway in case if helps.)

    Let us know which "layout" you want to use and we'll try to be more specific.

    Generally, there are two ways you can view the new Outputs (SSL). Click on the Output tab in the Ribbon and select the New Output button to create a new SSL.

    If you prefer to see the Outputs (SSL) Pod as seen in previous versions of RoboHelp, you can show the Pod by selecting the Project or Edit tab in the Ribbon. Then, in the Pod button dropdown on the far right, select Outputs (SSL) to reveal the familiar SSL pod.

    As for the breadcrumbs, these can be applied globally for all topics by selecting this option on most of the online SSLs. For example, for WebHelp Output SSL, choose the Navigation option in the WebHelp Settings dialog. Then, tick the Add Breadcrumbs Links box. The second method of adding Breadcrumbs to specific topics would be to create a Master Page and insert a Breadcrumbs Placeholder and then apply that master page to the topics you want to have this feature. However, don't use both methods because you'll end up with double breadcrumbs :-)

    LOL, hazard of asking multiple questions. Nice catch on the breadcrumbs!

    Oh, and the pod name changed. It is now called "Outputs(SSL)"
