Hello!
I am fortunate enough (read the sarcasm...) to be working on a project in Robohelp Classic; it's being moved to the 2019 version but until then it has to be maintained in Classic.
There are an absolute TON of snippets in the project and I would like to be able to see how many times each snippet is used and if possible, the location(s) where each snippet is used. Is there any way to accomplish these requests?
Thank you in advance!

You can right click the Snippet and select Properties or go to Tools > Topic Properties > Snippets to see the topics a snippet is used in. The report gives you the locations. There isn't a count but I'm guessing maybe you just want some idea.
You can click Copy and paste the report into Word, then apply a numbered list if you must have the numbers.

I have an ugly Word macro you could run on the report, assuming you can run macros in your environment.
It'll put the content into a three column table, with the third column containing the count of topics. The third column is blank for any snippet not used in the project.
I can't guarantee that it's accurate, but a small test seemed okay and is better than manually counting. 🙂
I was going to upload it, but it looks like the attachment feature has been removed since last I checked (or it's in a weird(er) spot from last time...)
Let me know if you're interested and I'll do some more digging on how to share it.
EDIT
Looks like you can't attach when you post, but instead need to edit your post to get the function...
EDIT 2:
The forums seem to be coughing up a furball at the moment. It doesn't look like the upload worked, even though I didn't get an error.
I'll leave it for a bit to see if things are better when Adobe fix the forums, and investigate other means of sharing while I wait.

Is there a way to find this information in RH "reimagined" ?
I went to the usual, click on the snippet, and select Properties....but "Where used" is not there. Where did they move it?
