Set as Favorite button not working in RoboHelp 2020

The Set as Favorite icon is displaying on my published topics, but when I click it, it doesn't work. It does not add the topic to favorites. I'm wondering if I have to turn on a specific setting that I have missed in order for it to work. I'm having trouble with other icons as well. It seems the only button that works correctly is the Print button. For reference, I'm using the Indigo layout and output preset Responsive HTML 5.

    This has been resolved in update 4 which released today. Give it a try.

    There appears to be a bug here. I just tested this skin and found the same issue. Adobe have confirmed it and it will be fixed in an update.

    Ok, I'm seeing persistence when I go back into that link again, but I can only still save 1 topic in the list - maybe it's browser & cookies dependent. Have to play with other browsers.

    First of all it does only save in the output, not in the browser favourites as Jeff has pointed out.

     

    @jeff I just saved a few tops as favourites, closed the browser tab and then went in again. They were still there along with something saved previously.

    Sorry Jeff and Peter, maybe I didn't explain this correctly. Basically, when I click the Set as Favorite icon at the top of a topic, nothing happens. I assumed that clicking that icon would add that topic to the Favorites section (pictured below).

    Playing with Peter's RH Tour - https://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/rh_tour/introduction/introduction.htm - I can only seem to get one topic added to the "internal favs" list (not your browser's favs list) & it only seems to be saved for the current session.
