RoboHelp 7: Control Your Environment

If you share your computer with other team members, you will appreciate the ability to create multiple work environments within RoboHelp 7. For instance, if you find yourself working on the Project Manager and Toolbox pods most of the day, you can create an Environment where those specific pods always appears in an exact location within the RoboHelp 7 window and grouped with toolbars you use frequently.

Load the Default Environment

1. Choose File > Load Default Environment

The RoboHelp window looks the way it did the day RoboHelp was first installed on your computer.

Save an Environment

1. Drag the Project Manager pod to the middle of the RoboHelp window
2. Choose View > Pods > Toolbox to display the Toolbox pod
3. Drag the Toolbox pod to the middle of the RoboHelp window
4. Position the Project Manager and Toolbox pods until your RoboHelp window looks similar to the picture below

   

5. Close all of the other pods
6. Choose File > Save Environment

   The Save As dialog box appears.
