Feature enhancements

Improved responsive HTML5 layouts

A host of improvements have been introduced in all responsive HTML5 layouts. If you are using an earlier version of any layout in RoboHelp (2017 release), it is strongly recommended to create and use the new layout for your project. One of the major enhancement in the current update is the support for displaying complete layout in context-sensitive Help.

If you are using RoboHelp (2015 release), you can easily upgrade your older layouts by following the instructions given in Upgrade RoboHelp (2015 release) responsive HTML5 layout to RoboHelp (2017 release) article.
