RH 2017: When Spell Checking, how does Skip Topic work?

[Jared Hess]

Hello friendly neighborhood RHelpers!

In my current project, I have thousands of help topics to review (spell check) and am trying to understand in detail what happens if I click Skip Topic.

The RH 2017 Help file is a bit on the anemic side IMO, and there's not a lot of detail about what happens to a skipped file.

My questions that I couldn't find after searching the help and this site:

1. Are skipped topics skipped for good or will it cycle through skipped topics again once its done with all the others?
2. Say I want to skip files temporarily but review them later, how would I do that? Is the list of topics files stored somewhere?

Thank you in advance.

To the best of my knowledge it's a one off skip so run spell check again and a skipped topic should be checked again. Easy enough to test with a simple two topic test project.

Yeah, I should have done a bit of testing before posting, as I found skipping to be fairly straight forward and that skipped topics are re-included in the mix the next time you choose to spell check all topics.
But hey, now the information is here for the next person who needs it.
