I've been avoiding ever making two ToC entries that point to the same topic file within a project, because somebody told me, years ago, that this defeats a navigation feature in Flare. Does anyone remember what that was, and why? And is it still true?
Or should I be able to have a topic pointed from multiple places in the ToC, without any deleterious side-effects?
Thanks,

Re: One topic, two ToC entries
It screws with the breadcrumb links.
The best practice solution is to put the guts of the topics into a snippet and then have the two topics include those snippets.
