Question on message shown on TOC

Post by CVigil »

Pretty new MadCap Flare user, so please bear with me.

I opened an older file I had been using, and on the TOC tab noticed I now had "The file you are editing exists outside of the current project." message at the top. Is this informational, or an error that needs correcting? How can I resolve it?

This is a file I inherited, so I'm not 100% on its origins, etc.

Thanks.

What it means is that the path to the file isn't in the same folder as your project.

For example, you may have your Flare project in the folder structure C:\Flare\MyProject\Project.flprj
Your content will be in C:\Flare\MyProject\Content\*.htm

The way to resolve the problem that you have is to move the file into that Content folder. That should remove the warning.
