USING ROBOHELP HTML 10
Projects
If you imported documents into the project, the Project Manager pod does not indicate the synchronization status. If
either the Word documents or the conversion settings change, reimport the Word documents and overwrite the
RoboHelp topics already generated. When you update the documents, RoboHelp updates the converted HTML topics,
TOC, index, and glossary.

The following table shows the different status indicators that appear on the Project Manager pod in RoboHelp for all
linked Word documents.
