Question

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?

    Thank you for all the feedback. Couple questions

    @petergrainge

    I think i'm stuck going this way, copying the entire folder and deleting items out. Management wants to divid the project up for some reason. I did us conditional build tags and seperate TOC's. Now they want seperate projects.

    @William van Weelden

    Thanks for the option, I signed up for the missing topics script but haven't gotten a confirmation email with the dl. I think this would be helpful as I have all my project files organized in folders. Would this let me copy the folders into a robohelp project and then identify them?

    Thanks all for the help,


    I would be asking management for their reasons. It is possible they don't realise what can be done and are storing up trouble.
