Multiscreeen HTML5 quirks???

Report · May 22, 2013

Generated and published my Multiscreen HTML5 help project. Working great except for a couple of quirks. Is there something I missed or is this just how Multiscreen HTML5 works?

A) When I make a simple change to a topic, I cannot upload and replace just that topic. When I do, the topic becomes a stand-alone topic. If I click on the topic link from within my TOC or Search, the topic loads outside of my help project (no TOC, no Home button etc.). Do I need to generate and publish the entire project each time I make a simple change? I can understand re-publishing the entire project if I am making link changes, etc. I do not want to generate the help project if I only make a change to one sentence in a single topic.

B) When a user references a page on the help portal, the link picks up their screen profile. Not a big deal, but I think it looks sloppy. Is there anyway to modify theses settings so that they do not show "homepage" or "android" in the url?

Thanks for any feedback.

Hi,

A) This is the way any output works, not only HTML5. You can't upload a file from your project into an output. In the publish settings, you can set to publish only changed files. That may alleviate a little.

B) The simple answer: No. This is the way it is. The topic is set in the folder of the specific screen profile.

Greet,

Willam
