Browse sequences allow users to move forward and backward through a series of topics arranged in a specific order. You define the order based on what you want users to accomplish or know after browsing through the topics and reading the content.
In HTML Help, browse sequences are displayed two ways: as a horizontal bar across the viewer that shows the topic titles in the current browse sequence, and as a drop-down list showing the title of each browse sequence.
Browse sequences display differently in other Help formats.
You create browse sequences and assign topics to them with the Browse Sequence Editor. Topics can be added and removed easily. The Browse Sequence Editor includes arrows and drag and drop functionality for rearranging topic order. To save time, you can automatically generate browse sequences based on your table of contents.
Only the topics included in your Help project can be used with browse sequences (not individual HTML files or external topics from other Help systems).
