How difficult would it be to upgrade from RoboHelp HTML version 7.03.001 to the latest version (is it v 2015?)? Does the latest version of Robohelp HTML support multi-browsers?

Hi there

RoboHelp (2015 Release) is indeed the latest version.

Are you talking about the process of upgrading RoboHelp itself or projects?

To upgrade RoboHelp itself, you simply install it where you like. I always like putting different versions in different folders myself. But it's really straightforward.

To upgrade projects, you simply open RoboHelp and open the project. At the time you open the project RoboHelp should see that it's from an older version and offer to upgrade it for you.

As for multiple browser support, RoboHelp has offered that for a very long time. The key with this is staying on top of RoboHelp upgrades to new versions. Because each new version changes the underlying code produced so that it works with new browsers.

Cheers... Rick

I am talking about upgrading projects. All my projects were created using RoboHelp HTML 7 and the powers that be would like to upgrade to the latest version. Our current help files are not playing nice with our multi-browser build. Thanks for your responses Jeff and Rick, I will pass the information along.

When upgrading a project from RoboHelp 7, there are some gotcha's to keep in mind:

  1. The HTML structure in the products has been changed. After updating the project, run Update DHTML effects to make sure all topics are updated to the new code.
  2. Lists may prove to behave unexpectedly after upgrading. You can fix these links to make sure they show correctly. See Lists for all the details and a step by step guide.

Find a non-production machine, download the trial RH2015 version on it, update it, then try upgrading a copy of your RH7 project to see how it behaves.
