Multiple products - multiple manual types
Posted: Tue Jun 13, 2017 3:41 am
Hello !
I am sorry if this "issue" has been already discussed, but I could not find any topic for the same situation.
We are writing documentation for 2 quite similar products.
User manuals have been made using conditions "Product 1" and "Product 2", but now we have to write service manuals for these 2 products.
We started a new project for service manuals, but we realised that most of the content is the same as in the user guides. So now we would like only one project that contains user manuals and service manuals for both instruments.
What would be the best way knowing that :
- Structure is quite the same except for two chapters and even when it is not the same, it includes some topics from the user guides
- Some chapters will be totally new for service manuals
From what I read, it is not possible to handle this with conditions, right ? Is it possible to make two separate projects in the same directory, so common topics between UM and SM are taken from the same place ?
Thank you very much in advance !
