Thank you both for the feedback. I probably wasn't clear in my initial post. We're moving the entire set of files from one location (local) to another (network) and then to another (other network location). The final network location will be our source files for future updates, and the files we'll u...

We're trying to figure out the initial setup of our Flare system. We have a formal document approval process and a release team. The release team are the only people who are allowed to touch the source files. So we're thinking that the writers will work on documents locally, then move them to a stag...

Oh, I see now! Thank you so much! I was definitely making it harder on myself. I'm still new to Flare, and there are so many things I know I can do but I have no idea how to do them.

I have a single project that contains lots of documents. Each document has its own variable set that includes the variables DocTitle, DocNumber, and DocRev. All of the variable sets are saved in the Variables folder with the doc number as the file name. I'd like to have one page layout that all of t...

I'm reviving an old post here because I haven't found any more recent discussions. I'm using Flare 2023 r2 and I'm wondering if the feature to import Word properties as either variables or as meta tags was ever implemented? We have a lot of Word docs that use the properties, both basic and custom. I...

Hi, there. I'm importing Word documents with lots of tables. On the Advanced Options tab of the Word import file, I use "Apply a selected table stylesheet to all imported tables" and selected the stylesheet in the TableStyles folder. Yet when I import the Word files, the tables don't have ...

Thanks for the responses. I wish there was a way to keep all of the related files in one place, but I guess I should stick with Flare's organization. Presumably they made it that way for a reason.

My company is new to Flare, and we're still establishing what will be our eventual project structure. What it looks like now is that we'll have about 20 projects, each with hundreds of documents as separate folders within the Content Explorer (with GPL and shared topics where possible.) Ideally, the...

Trent, I appreciate the link to the filtering system info. That looks like a great solution, but a bit advanced for me at the moment. Once we've migrated into Flare I'll have more time to play around with it. Thanks!

I'm a total newbie with Flare, so my apologies if this is all very basic!

Can I have a single HTML page with a long list of documents that are tagged with conditions, and let the users select which set (condition) of docs to view? I'm trying to avoid having a separate HTML page for each condition.
