... and when the topic is in the TOC you click on it to see the Properties that I have shown.

I have added a new Topic.  But I don't see how to get to the contents properties window.

That screenshot is not of the Properties. After you have added the topic, go to this.

I'm clicking the + button at the top of Table of Contents section. This is the window that displays and then the topic it displayed in the TOC.

That doesn't look like the TOC - that looks more like adding a topic to the project.

Add them to the TOC and as you add them you will see a checkbox Hide in Output. Select that. The topic will be in the build but not the TOC. It can be found by links, TOC etc.

I added it to the TOC and this is the window that displayed. There is no checkbox.

The answer depends on what version of RoboHelp you are using. Please always start threads with that information. If 2019, Classic or the New UI?
