new topics showing up in different project

I am using Robohelp 2019.  Have an existing project that has been working just fine.  I added two new topics and they appear in the topic list of the project I am in, but the html files are being stored in a different project location, not the one I'm work in; hence do not publish to the server along with the rest of the existing ones.  Can't figure out why - does anyone know how to fix this?

    When you generate, if the topic is not in the project you should get a dialog bottom right telling you the project has generated but with errors/warnings.

     

    View the log and you should see some yellow highlighting telling you what the error is.

     

    With the new UI if the topics show in Contents it is because RoboHelp can see them in the project. What you are describing does not make sense. In the Topic List Report, what path is shown for these topics? Is it within the project?

     

    Did you also add these topics to the TOC as they will not publish until they show there?
