Changing links when upgrading to RoboHelp 2022

[jasonm74506877]

I recently upgraded 14 RoboHelp projects from 2019 to 2022. The challenge I'm facing is replacing all the links between projects. All the links point to a local drive, and it seems like my only option is to go page by page and change the links that point to the old 2019 projects to the new 2022 projects. I am searching for another option. I've tried using find/replace, but that doesn't work with links.

Is this merged help or just a number of outputs with links between them?

Either way, the links should have been relative paths that I would have expected to upgrade without change. How are the links defined in Classic, as relative or absolute paths?

It looks like all the links are absolute as they have 2019 as part of their address. Would I need to change them to all to relative?

Are you talking about links in the RH project files or in the output?

[Jeff_Coatsworth]

A find & replace tool should work fine on changing something in a link - it's just text.

[Peter Grainge]

When you create a link between topics in any version of RoboHelp, they are created with relative paths. If your links in Classic are showing as absolute paths, then I have to ask how you created them?

Also if created as absolute links, I would expect them to be broken in your output as users would not be able to access your hard disk, which is where the paths point.

Something seems wrong here.
