Question

Why do I have project folders in Baggage Files?

I inherited a RoboHelp project created in RH 11 and now in RH 2015. I have used Baggage Files in the past to allow my users to open, download PDF files. When I go to the Baggage Files folder in my project, it appears that there are exact replica of the folder structure.

I have searched on the Internet and Adobe sites to describe the Baggage Files feature. I still am unable to figure out what would happen if I removed the folders. Does this have something to do with the mapping when publishing my WebHelp?  Why do I have the folders in the Baggage File folder. 

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Thank you for the response. The video shows how to view files in Project Manager. Yes, I know how to do this. 

    My question is why do exact folders show in my Baggage Folder and what would happen if I remove them? See image below.  Thanks.

    When you toggle the view of the Project Manager pod, the Classic view splits things like Baggage Files and Images into their own "folders" in the Project Manager/

    The sub folders you see are the actual folders in the operating system. RoboHelp is showing these to you because there may be Baggage content inside them. But whether they appear or not is entirely dependent on that Project Manager view and how you have it set. (Classic or Global)

    Cheers... Rick
