Learn about See Also and Related Topics features and how to use these features.

About See Also and Related Topics

The See Also feature links a topic with related/associated topics through keywords. A keyword contains a group of associated topics. Linking a keyword to a topic also links the associated topics in the keyword to the topic. RoboHelp displays associated topics in preview mode and output through a control inserted in the topic applied to the topic.

You can link a keyword to multiple topics so that each topic displays the same set of associated topics from the linked keyword. You can also link multiple keywords to a topic so that the topic displays a combination of different sets of associated topics from each linked keyword.

If you modify the grouping of associated topics in a keyword, RoboHelp automatically updates all the topics linked to the keyword. If you modify the title of a topic in the project, RoboHelp automatically updates the title in all linked keywords.

Use the See Also feature to simultaneously manage related topics at a project level, that is, in multiple topics. If you want to manage related topics explicitly for an individual topic, use the Related Topics feature instead of the See Also feature.

Use the See Also feature

Create and manage See Also keywords

To use the See Also feature, first create a See Also keyword. To do so:

  1. In the Author mode, click See Also. The See Also panel appears.

  2. In the See Also panel, click  to create a keyword.

  3. In the New See Also Keyword dialog box, specify the name of the keyword.

  4. Click Done.

    The new keyword is placed in the See Also panel in alphabetical order of keyword names.

  5. To manage See Also keywords, click  against a keyword or right-click a keyword and do the following:

    • To rename a keyword, click Rename. In the Rename Keyword dialog box, specify the new name and click Done.
    • To delete a keyword, click Delete. In the Confirm dialog box, click Yes.
  6. Click  to save the changes.

Associate topics to a See Also keyword

While defining a keyword, add associated topics in the Associated Topics section. To do so:

  1. In the Author toolbar, click See Also

  2. In the See Also panel, click  against a keyword to expand it. 

  3. To add an associated topic, click   against Associated Topics.

  4. In the Add Associated Topic dialog box, locate the associated topic. Use the Search field or browse through the Contents or the Recently Used drop-down section. 

  5. Select the associated topic. You can verify topic selection through the preview pane at the right side of the dialog box.

  6. Click Link.

    The associated topic is placed below Associated Topics in alphabetical order of the topic name. You can add multiple associated topics in a keyword.

  7. To manage associated topics, do the following:

    • To reorder a topic in the list of associated topics, click  and use drag-and-drop. 
    • To remove a topic, click  against it.
  8. Click  to save the changes.

You can link topics to keywords in two ways—through a topic’s properties or a keyword.

To link topics to keywords, do the following:

  1. To link through a topic’s properties:

    1. From the Contents panel, right-click the appropriate topic and then click Properties.

    2. In the Topic Properties dialog box, expand the See Also drop-down section.

      The Select Keyword drop-down list displays all keywords in a project.

    3. From the Select Keyword drop-down list, select the appropriate keyword. You can select multiple keywords.

      The keywords appear below the Select Keyword field. To remove a keyword, click  against it.

      Nota:

      After you link the topic to keywords, RoboHelp automatically displays the topic in each keyword in the See Also panel > expanded view of each keyword > Used In Topics section. 

  2. To link through a keyword:

    1. In the Author toolbar, click See Also

    2. In the See Also panel, click  against a keyword to expand it.

    3. Click  against Used In Topics.

    4. In the Add Used In Topic dialog box, locate the topic to which you want to associate the keyword. Use the Search field or browse through the Contents or the Recently Used drop-down section.

    5. Select the topic. You can verify the topic selection through the preview pane at the right side of the dialog box.

    6. Click Link.

      The topic is placed below Used In Topics in alphabetical order of the topic name. You can associate multiple topics with the keyword.

      Nota:

      After you link topics to the keyword, RoboHelp automatically displays the keyword in each topic in the Topic Properties dialog box > See Also drop-down section.

      If a topic is linked to multiple keywords and each keyword contains a different group of associated topics, RoboHelp displays all associated topics from all keywords in the topic. For example, the topic Brochure is linked to two keywords–Sales and Marketing. The Sales keyword has associated topics A, B, and C and the Marketing keyword has associated topics X, Y, and Z. RoboHelp displays the associated topics A, B, C, X, Y, and Z in Brochure.

    7. To remove a topic, click  against it.

  3. Click  to save the changes.

    Nota:

    If you want to explicitly insert specific related topics in an individual topic, use the Related Topics feature
