Grouping topics into help projects


Grouping topics into help projects

Projects are a really great way to organize your help topics. Projects also control how help is published... you can choose to publish single topics or entire projects. Some examples for projects:

  • When you start a new software project

  • Create a project for your blog posts

  • Create a support project

  • Create a project for a new manual or user guide

  • Anytime you want to group and organize help topics

Creating a new project

Click the new project button (1) to create a new empty project. You can create as many projects as you need.

Creating folders to organize topics

To create a new folder click the new folder button (2). To name the folder, click the rename folder button (3) and edit it directly.

Adding new topics to a project

Click the New Topic button on the HelpBurner side-bar to create a new topic. When you save the topic, HelpBurner will ask you for the project to save the new topic to.

Adding existing topics to a project

In your library, simply drag a topic from the topic-list to a project in the project-list to add it to the project.
