Unused files report

Use this report (Tools > Reports > Unused Files) to view unused files in one place. You can sort by filename or file type

by selecting from the Sort By menu.

You cannot remove these files from within your project. Make a list of the unused files and their paths and then use

Windows Explorer to delete the files.

Important:

Before you delete files, make a backup copy of the project in case you need to revert changes.

Note:

Indiscriminate deletion of files other than what is listed by the unused files report, results in broken links, missing

files and other undesirable consequences.

Unused index keywords report

Use this report (Tools > Reports > Unused Index Keywords) to track all index keywords that are not associated with

topics. Use it to:

•

Identify index keywords that you can remove from your project.

•

Find index keywords that must be associated with topics.

•

Review cross-references included in your index.

Used Files report

Use this report (Tools > Reports > Used Files) for an inventory of all files in the project.

Missing topics report

Use this report (Tools > Reports > Missing Topics) to track missing topics and several associated elements:

•

TOCs, books, and pages that reference missing topics

•

Index keywords and phrases that reference missing topics

Select a folder from the Folder list to generate topic group information.

Tips:

•

Before you remove a topic, remove all references to it.

•

If you do not remove references when you remove a topic, this report identifies the breakable references.

Variables report

Use this report (Tools > Reports > Variables) to list variables in the order they were created along with their values and

information about their usage.

If you view all variables in the project, the report indicates the variables defined in Variable sets and the files in which

they are used. You can also find variables that have not been used.

This report is useful when you want to remove variables. Locate all topics in which the variables are used and delete

references to the variables before deleting the variables.
