Which file in RoboHelp 11 is used to store settings for conditional build tags

We are sharing a RoboHelp 11 project between two authors, and have noticed that the conditional build tags that are set by one author are not seen by the second author who is accessing the project via version control. I think the file containing details of the conditional build tags has not been added to version control, and as a result the second author cannot see these details. Does anyone know what this file is called, so I can add it to version control?

Thanks very much.

Thanks, both. As we need to share CB tags between authors, would it be OK to add the .pss file to version control or is it important that we do not do this?


The PSS file gets overwritten so if you put it in source control, you'll get very strange results. You can copy the PSS file between computers so I would go that route.

Alternatively, have the other author define the same expressions in the preview. Once you made them there, the project will remember them.

Check the Source Control forum for the list of files that shouldn’t be checked into version control – everything else should be checked in.

Starting RoboHelp 2015, it's stored in rhbuildtag.apj.

For RH11 and earlier, I believe it is stored in the *.pss file. But this file is not stored in version control. The build tags are available in the SSL where you set them, but not available on the other machine.
