How to import pages from one project into another

Hi Folks,

I compiled our help documentation into a project and am wondering how I can copy parts of my project into a new project. I'm trying to spilt out the project into smaller ones (management wants to compartmentalize the updating into other units and not have 1 master project). I tried to move my .html folders and supported images etc. into a new project but it wouldn't recognize them.

Besides making multiple folder copies of the entire project then customizing each. Is their a way to import pages from another project? The Resources pod seems to be only for Master Pages etc.

Thanks,

Joel

Hi Joel

To insert existing topics (HTML Pages) into a project, try right-clicking the Project Manager pod. Once you do that you should see an option to Import. You may need to change the bottom of the Import dialog so it shows HTML pages.

Yes, for the moment the Resource Manager pod does not include topics. Hopefully that will change at some future point.

Cheers... Rick

Is there any way to move files between projects without having to re-import them?

You could create copies and then open each one and trash what is not required there.

First though, is it that management really want separate projects or separate outputs? If the latter, it might be better to keep one project and use build tags different layouts.

If you want to batch add files and folders to a RH project, you can also

use my free missing topics fixer script:

This creates the required files so RoboHelp can pick up missing/new

files and folders in a project.

Kind regards,

Willam
