Adobe RoboHelp Question of the Week: Can I Export/Import SSLs?

I have duplicated and set up a Single Source Layout. Can I export the layout so that I can use it in other projects?

Answer (provided by Kevin Siegel):

There is no direct way to do it within RoboHelp. However, you can do it "behind the scenes." If you don't have experience editing code, I would advise against the following technique since it's pretty easy to trash the file.

First, copy the SSL support file from within your project folder and paste it into the new project's folder. The SSL file is called name.ssl (for instance, mycool.ssl).

From within the new project folder, open rhlayout.apj file using Notepad.

Add this line of code to the file:

<layout>
<name>name of the ssl here</name>
<type>6</type>
<id>1000</id>
</layout>

Reopen the RoboHelp project and your new SSL will appear on the SSL pod.
