Hi, what is the neatest way to create a new project from an existing one. I need to create a new help library that will contain much of the content from a current one. However, I do not want to create a new version of the current library, as both will continue to develop independently.

Thanks

1. Close Robohelp.
2. Take a copy of the project directory (and subdirectories).
3. Copy it to another folder and rename the folder.
4. Open up the .xpj file from the new folder.
5. Rename the project immediately - this saves confusion :-)
6. Delete the unwanted topics etc.

Windows Explorer, copy and paste the whole folder.

Rename folder to whatever.

Open project. File | Rename Project.

Trash unwanted stuff.
