USING ROBOHELP HTML 10 7 Getting started Review and collaboration features RoboHelp 9 introduced workflows for authors, SMEs, and end users to collaborate in multiple ways. In RoboHelp 10, some of these workflows have been enhanced to address specific needs of RoboHelp users. Enhancements in PDF review Create a PDF from an entire RoboHelp project or from parts of it, including topics, master pages, and snippets, and send it for review (Reviewers only need the free Adobe Reader to add comments to the PDF). After the review ends, import the comments into the project and view and manage the feedback from Review Pane. For step-by-step instructions, see "PDF review" on page 386 and "Manage comments and changes" on page 388. • TOC-based review When you create a PDF for review (select Review > Create PDF For Review), RoboHelp displays the list of topics in the current project so you can select a set of topics to include in the PDF. By default, RoboHelp shows the list of topics as it appears in Project Manager. This default view is not useful if you generate output based on multiple TOCs and need to select a set of topics from a TOC to include in the PDF for review. In such scenarios, the new option to show files from a selected Table of Contents comes in handy. The Exclude TOC Items Not Linked To Topics option helps you ensure that the PDF you create based on the selected TOC does not contain TOC items that are linked to the options on the Link menu. • Filter topics or files based on date modified When creating a PDF for review in RoboHelp 9, you can select a topic status for Robohelp to filter topics or files with that status from the project. In RoboHelp 10, you can use the last modified date independently or in conjunction with the topics status to specify the criteria for selecting topics for the PDF for review. • Use CBTs to include or exclude topics in the review PDF RoboHelp 10 gives you a quick way to select the content for the review PDF. • Autoset statuses as Sent For Review and Reviewed RoboHelp 10 comes with two new topic statuses, Sent For Review and Reviewed. Just as you assign other topic statuses, you can edit the properties of the current topic and manually assign one of these statuses. However, with a single click, you can assign these statuses to a set of topics in the following scenarios: • When creating a PDF for review If you select the Set Topic Status To Sent For Review option, RoboHelp updates the statuses of the topics being sent for review to Sent For Review. • When importing the comments In RoboHelp 10, the Import Comment Summary screen contains a new option called Update Status to Reviewed. If you select this option, RoboHelp updates the statuses of all topics that are being imported after review to Reviewed. Publishing features New Multiscreen HTML5 SSL to generate different output for different devices RoboHelp 10 provides a new Multiscreen HTML5 SSL, which lets you generate output for multiple devices, such as smartphones and tablets, from the same source content. The generated output is HTML5-compatible and adaptive to different screen sizes and interactivity features that mobile devices provide. For example, users can access your content seamlessly across Android smartphones, the iPad (9.7 inches screen), and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet. What's more, you can use Multiscreen HTML5 in place of WebHelp to leverage the power of HTML5. For example, you can generate desktop Help with a new frameless look-and-feel, add high-quality videos, and provide a uniform crossbrowser experience. Videos with .mp4, .ogg, .ogv, and .webm file extensions play natively in the browser, without requiring additional plugins. If a browser can't play MP4 videos natively, QuickTime is used.

USING ROBOHELP HTML 10
Getting started
Last updated 7/13/2012
Review and collaboration features
RoboHelp 9 introduced workflows for authors, SMEs, and end users to collaborate in multiple ways. In RoboHelp 10,
some of these workflows have been enhanced to address specific needs of RoboHelp users.
Enhancements in PDF review
Create a PDF from an entire RoboHelp project or from parts of it, including topics,
master pages, and snippets, and send it for review (Reviewers only need the free Adobe Reader to add comments to
the PDF). After the review ends, import the comments into the project and view and manage the feedback from Review
Pane. For step-by-step instructions, see “
PDF review
” on page
386 and “
Manage comments and changes
” on page
388.
TOC-based review
When you create a PDF for review (select Review > Create PDF For Review), RoboHelp displays
the list of topics in the current project so you can select a set of topics to include in the PDF. By default, RoboHelp
shows the list of topics as it appears in Project Manager. This default view is not useful if you generate output based on
multiple TOCs and need to select a set of topics from a TOC to include in the PDF for review. In such scenarios, the
new option to show files from a selected Table of Contents comes in handy.
The Exclude TOC Items Not Linked To Topics option helps you ensure that the PDF you create based on the selected
TOC does not contain TOC items that are linked to the options on the Link menu.
Filter topics or files based on date modified
When creating a PDF for review in RoboHelp 9, you can select a topic
status for Robohelp to filter topics or files with that status from the project. In RoboHelp 10, you can use the last
modified date independently or in conjunction with the topics status to specify the criteria for selecting topics for the
PDF for review.
Use CBTs to include or exclude topics in the review PDF
RoboHelp 10 gives you a quick way to select the content
for the review PDF.
Autoset statuses as Sent For Review and Reviewed
RoboHelp 10 comes with two new topic statuses, Sent For
Review and Reviewed. Just as you assign other topic statuses, you can edit the properties of the current topic and
manually assign one of these statuses. However, with a single click, you can assign these statuses to a set of topics in
the following scenarios:
When creating a PDF for review
If you select the Set Topic Status To Sent For Review option, RoboHelp updates the statuses of the topics being sent
for review to Sent For Review.
When importing the comments
In RoboHelp 10, the Import Comment Summary screen contains a new option called Update Status to Reviewed.
If you select this option, RoboHelp updates the statuses of all topics that are being imported after review to
Reviewed.
Publishing features
New Multiscreen HTML5 SSL to generate different output for different devices
RoboHelp 10 provides a new
Multiscreen HTML5 SSL, which lets you generate output for multiple devices, such as smartphones and tablets, from
the same source content. The generated output is HTML5-compatible and adaptive to different screen sizes and
interactivity features that mobile devices provide. For example, users can access your content seamlessly across
Android smartphones, the iPad (9.7 inches screen), and the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet.
What’s more, you can use Multiscreen HTML5 in place of WebHelp to leverage the power of HTML5. For example,
you can generate desktop Help with a new frameless look-and-feel, add high-quality videos, and provide a uniform
crossbrowser experience.
Videos with .mp4, .ogg, .ogv, and .webm file extensions play natively in the browser, without requiring additional
plugins. If a browser can’t play MP4 videos natively, QuickTime is used.
