Question

Publishing to a network drive

I guess my question is: Is this okay? I want the project easily available to many people. How do I do this? I tried to change the Output Folder and Start Page in the Output Properties, but it took a long time to publish and looked odd, i.e., two buttons for each navigation. Any ideas?

    The output folder is where you generate to. You do not use it for publishing. That is achieved by setting up a publish location in the last page of the wizard or simply copying the generated output to the publish location. The generate location must be local.

    Thanks Peter. This confirms what I thought was the case. However, when I

    specified a location on the last page of the wizard, it didn't do

    anything. Nothing appeared in the folder. ? Maybe I'll try a different

    one.

    And while I have you on the line, do we need RoboHelp Server for version

    control? I'm really unfamiliar with RH Server. Can you give me a quick

    what-it-is and why-we-should-use-it??

    No, you need (& already have) RoboSource for source control. Roboserver is used to track and host WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro output. Check out notcolin.wordpress.com to read about the difference.
