Easy Select Condition Asset Now Missing

Does anyone know how to get that condition selector to show at the top of the htm file? The one that allows you to easily select conditioned content? I tried changing layout and deselecting/reselecting the conditions caret tag, and it's not appearing. Not sure why Flare automatically would turn that ...

Re: Conditions "Popup"

What is that thing called, then? It's like a conditions toolbar or something.

There it is. Flare hid it in the Show Tags dropdown. Not exactly intuitive, but, as they say in the Tech Writer industry, whatevs.

Re: MadCap Central User/Seat Roles

Are reviewer seats "generic?" For example, if you purchase an additional 10 licenses, can you swap users if someone leaves a project, or if there is a brand new set of reviewers for a different project? Or do you have to buy MORE seats?

OK. No response.

Another problem I'm having is that images are not importing into an html file. I'll open a ticket. Thanks anyway, guys.

PNG Images blurry in Flare HTML Output

Images are screenshots captured in Snagit. Snagit DPI is 300.
Images are .png files.
The image size in flare doesn't matter. The images are not clear.

Any suggestions? The forums haven't yielded a definitive solution.

Flare is inserting one (and only one) page in the output PDF file between chapters 2 and 3. I cannot figure out how to prevent that.
