Apply property setting to multiple topics at the same time

[Ashley_Drew]

Hi,

I have hundreds of topics that I need to include in my HTML5 output, but I do not want them to appear in search results. I see the "Include topic when full-text search database is generated" check box on the Topic Properties tab in the Properties window. I think that will work, but I'd rather not have to select that check box for each topic.

Does Flare have a way to select multiple topics before right-clicking and selecting Properties? The Ctrl key doesn't seem to work when I'm viewing the topic list in the Content Explorer pane. Is there some other way to apply a property setting to multiple topics at the same time?

In Content Explorer, click the second button from the left (Show Files). It changes the interface to the traditional two-column view, with folders in the left pane and folder contents in the right. You can then use Ctrl or Shift to select multiple files in the right pane.

If you have topics in several folders that you want to select at the same time, you will finde the file list useful (View | File List)

Thank you both very much!
