Can someone please explain me what are baggage files for? And how to use them correctly?

Generated help doesn't include baggage files created by me so I am losing the point.

Or any link with sample or explenation?

thank you for your help

They should be - that's the point of adding files to baggage; they get carried along into the generated help output, so you don't have to copy them in afterwards.

Sorry, still not clear for me.

1. I create baggage file and links it to image. That baggage file I can Use in any topic. That OK to me.

but

2. When I link .html file to baggage file, it can't be use in any topic ( or maybe I don't know how to use it) and also this baggage file is not contained in generated help

From what I remember, Baggage files are just files that you want to ensure get copied into the final help output. I use them in one of my projects to include the installer that calls RH topics. It's never referenced by any topics within the project. Check to see what the RH Help has to say about baggage files.
