Advanced User Information

You can also assign hierarchical information using tags in your source files. Group, topicorder and contentsentry tags in your source files are not updated using Contents Design. If there is TOC information available for a topic in source files and in you project files only TOC information in your project file is used. To remove TOC information from your project file you can use the Remove TOC Information tool on the Tools Menu.

Note: If you edit a topic in the Editor hierarchical tags in your source file are removed and are stored in the project file.
