• Generating WebHelp or WebHelp Pro requires a browser.

• Publish is available only if destinations for the selected WebHelp layouts are defined.
• Check the status of a generation in the Batch Generate dialog box. For a status of Failed, check the compiler
messages in the lower pane to resolve the problem. For WinHelp projects, generate the project in the Layout wizard
and use Error wizard to locate the problem.

View WebHelp, WebHelp Pro and FlashHelp Pro output
To preview a WebHelp Pro or FlashHelp Pro project locally without publishing to the Adobe RoboHelp Server, open
it in a web browser. You can't preview the index, table of contents, links, and browse sequences locally.
You also can test the published project, including all server-dependent features, by viewing it from the server.
View the project in the browser to test links, images, browse sequences, and other elements.
Note: Chrome security settings do not allow loading HTML pages from a local disk. To view output in Chrome, launch
Chrome from the command line in access file allowed mode (Chrome.exe -allow-file-access-from-files).
