Question

Topic status indicator?

I've used other CMS and they have the option to show, sort, filter, and update topic status (draft, in review, complete...) using a colored indicator icon in the authoring area.  I can't find similar functionality in RoboHelp, does this exist?  I'm not referring to reports, but rather a colored icon next to the topic in the author pane.

 

If this doesn't exist, can it be added to the feature request list?

    Technically, Robohelp is a help authoring tool (HAT), not a CMS (Content Management System).

     

    There's never been an icon in the topic or contents panel, but you can set a status on the topic. There are defaults, but you can remove and add your own in the Project Settings dialog box. In Classic you have to open a new dialog box to see the status on the topic. In New UI you can open the Topic panel to see the status there. 

     

    As the Contents panel is based solely on the file system structure on your hard drive, there aren't any options for sorting or filtering in the Contents panel. You'd have to do all that in a report.
