About TOCs
The table of contents is a hierarchy of the folders, topics, and any subfolders in Project Manager. RoboHelp creates
books from custom folders and pages from the topics in these folders. Any topics not saved in custom folders appear
as pages at the first level in the table of contents.
You can reorder books and pages after you create the table of contents.
