How can I copy an existing project?

[Guest]

I am using RoboHelp 9 on a virtual server. 

I copied the entire folder of original project.

Named New Folder the name of 2nd project.

Can;t find copied project when I view open projects in robohelp.

I am very new to this but I desparately need to copy my original project asap as of next week, there will be two versions of the product and I will need to keep the two projects separate.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi there

You're on the right track.

Copy the folder to a new location.

From RoboHelp, click File > Open and navigate to the new location.

Open the ProjectName.xpj file you should find there.

After you open the project, click File > Rename Project and give it a new name.

Cheers... Rick

Where is this virtual server located? RH isn't designed to work on a server - it should be installed on your local c:\ drive. Your projects can be located on a server drive only if you check them out and use some sort of source control and work on them locally (usually in a c:\projects\[project_name]\ structure.

How did you copy your existing project?
