Updating old projects to the new Top Level Nav style project

Post by JodyBrown »

Anyone know the workflow for updating old (v10) Flare projects up to the new Top Level Navigation style?

Do I just need to grab the HTML5 "skins" files from a new project and paste them into the old project and update the target and toc links?

You might find it worthwhile to read Chapter 5 in the Flare 11 What's New Guide. The MadCap doc team gives a blow-by-blow narrative of their workflow and decision-making for integrating the new Top Navigation feature into their existing Flare documentation Flare project.

And P.S. Welcome to the forums! :)

Is the Flare What's New Guide available in HTML5? If so, where? If not, why not?
