Can the user add content to a published Help system?

[Peter Breeden]

Hi folks!

Newbie here... I'm building a .Net Help system and it is coming along nicely. I have three targets: .Net, HTML, and PDF.

My boss asked me if it is possible for the user to add content to the Help system. For example, when the complete Help system is integrated into the .Net application and the user wants to add information to a particular topic, is this possible or not? If it is possible, what do I do in the Help system to make this work?

Many thanks.

Cheers,
Peter

If you mean that you want your users to contribute to the actual content, like you would in a wiki, then the answer is no, you can't do that with Flare.

MadCap does have a feedback service which lets your users add comments to a topic. For an example, see the MadCap knowledgebase (the comments at the bottom): http://kb.madcapsoftware.com/

Hi Dave and Steve:

Thanks for the feedback. It's reassuring to have you guys here to help out. So far, I really like MadCap Flare. But I am a new user so I am just beginning to discover the potential of the software.

Many thanks.

Cheers,
Peter
