What type of breadcrumbs are used by RH11, are they location or path-based?

We are finding that sometimes "breadcrumbs" used in our RH11 help project do not show the entire path we took to get to the current topic. I am guessing RH11 uses "location-based" not "path-based" breadcrumbs. This would mean in RH11 help projects, we would only see where the current topic is stored in a TOC or project hierarchy, not a trail of steps taken to arrive at a particular topic or page. Am I correct in this assumption?

Yes, it’s location-based, not history-based.

How does one identify to RH11 whether to use the TOC or project files/folder hierarchy? Adobe RH11 help stated the breadcrumbs could be tied to the project files OR to the TOC chosen to display in the WebHelp SSL.

I am thinking I can make the location-based breadcrumbs simulate path-based navigation by how I manipulate folders in the project or chapters in the TOC. Am I right?

Thank you!!!

HI there

As mentioned by Jeff, the breadcrumbs in RoboHelp are totally based on the TOC hierarchy and not history.

I do suppose if you structured things such that a user might always follow a specific path to get to a topic, you could structure the TOC so that it appears similar.
