Hi there
I'm unclear on what you are seeing. Can you please try to restate the issue?
The TOC "looks" the same in the TOC editor regardless of whether you save the file or not. Where are you expecting to see changes? Inside RoboHelp itself or in the compiled/generated output?
Cheers... Rick

Hi there
Just to be clear, this *IS* RoboHelp HTML, no?
In RoboHelp HTML, there is no dynamic link between the TOC items and Topic Names. Sure, if you rename the File Name in a topic so the HTML file name changes, it will automatically update the TOC so that the link isn't broken. But the TOC elements are stored in a separate file completely. So I'm really confused as to what you are seeing or expect to see. Once you have a topic in the TOC, the TOC node may represent the Topic Title. Perhaps:
How to confgure the gizmo.
But if you later change that Topic Title to read:
How to configure the widget
The TOC will not change automagickally. You will have to either re-run the wizard to create a new TOC or you will need to manually edit the TOC node so it is now correct.

Hi again
But WHERE did you update it? As I said, the TOC is a totally separate file that contains only pointers to the topic. So if you change the topic file name or the topic title, it should not be changing in the TOC whatsoever as far as what the user sees.
Show me a "Before" shot, what you are updating, then the "After" shot.
I'll be totally shocked and surprised if the TOC updates at all with no intervention on your behalf. It would fly in the face of anything I currently believe I understand about the TOC.
BTW, is this perchance a TOC that is linked to FrameMaker or Word? Maybe that would explain things.
Cheers... Rick

Hi there
Indeed there is. Basically what you would do is to place the content in different folders and restrict viewing at the folder level. For example:
User A is an admin. They are able to see the following folders:
Help
Help \ Admin
Help \ General
User B is a worker bee. When they log in, they only see the following folders:
Help
Help \ General
Because they don't have any access to the Help \ Admin folder, they don't see any of those topics. Usually folks will opt to create a Merged system to accomplish that. But it might be able to work with a single system and simple folder restriction. I'd have to test that to be sure. Unfortunately I don't have access to a server to test
