RH 2020: any way to easily rebuild the index?

Not sure how to fix this forum email notification feature?

It would appear Adobe also have no idea how to fix it as the problem has been ongoing since May for some people. Try posting in Community Feedback but don't hold your breath!

Fro anyone else looking at this thread, it's worth mentioning that there are two sides to SharePoint. SharePoint Online for publishing an output and SharePoint for source control.

Apologies, Peter. Unfortunately, didn't see your last posting until now, when by chance I browsed the forum. Although I have signed up to receive email notifications when a posting is replied to, haven't gotten them for a long while. Not sure how to fix this forum email notification feature?

Regarding an interim fix for indexing, will probably hold off for now, since forcing the TOC topic titles may do more harm than good since I regularly update this specific project. It will be difficult to keep track of changes. Better to wait for a more permanent fix, less cumbersome.

BTW RH-SharePoint, which I just made use of, is an awesome feature! I suspect that it is a good way to back up a project, keep it safely on the cloud in case the origianl file becomes corrupted.

Thank you again for your helpful follow up and suggestions.

It sounds like you want to find an interim fix regardless. The TOC title updates automatically if untouched but it can be overridden in the TOC. 

It's explained in the About RoboHelp sample project. However if you go that route, in future when you update topic titles for other reasons, the TOC will no longer stay in sync.

Can you not live with it for a while?

As an update, I did test changing topic titles to see if there was any way to re-order these alphabetically, force the correct order for the index. No joy here, unfortunately. If for example, I want to take a topic like "Delivery Model" and make it first for an index term, by assigning it the title Aa, I then get a TOC which starts with Aa corresponding and linking to the Delivery Model topic. So, I will keep trying to figure out a work-around until an update adds a better option.

That's fine and thank you for doing that. I just wanted to make sure that was the case rather than some forum bug.

I do come back to make small or large edits in the interest of clarity.

@saratogacoach. Every time you post I get at least three email notifications. That usually only happens if someone has edited their post. I doubt you have edited all your posts or just opened them rather than viewing them. Before I report this as a forum bug, please confirm you haven't been opening the posts each time.

Thank you for this information. I will need to see if there is any way to rebuild the project's index based on this to get it working as needed. Not yet sure if there is a way to do this in this project (change topic titles to force the order). Will try to get my brain around this, see if it would be possible in, this project. Not sure where to begin, how to "juggle" this to get it right.

I am told the logic of the page numbering is the order of the topics is based on the order of the topic titles under a keyword.

So if the keyword is Test and it has Alpha topic linked that because of the TOC comes on page 100 and Beta topic is also linked and comes on page 50, the you will see Test: 100, 50.

There is nothing you can do to change that other than to apply topic titles that force the order. Note I am talking about topic titles, not topic headings.

Adobe are investigating a solution for an update.

More testing. I checked, and as far as I can tell, pages are correct. Links work, take you to the correct page and topic. Even when I rebuilt an index entry, deleted the term, then added it new, re-added its keywords, got the same results. When I move keywords in the index term, to re-order, they immediately snap back to their alphabetical positions, cannot retain the moves to better order them.
