Merging Oracle Help projects

You can merge Oracle Help projects together by adding a reference to an external project. No files are physically moved, but all of the elements of the external project can be seen when your users view your project. This is done by adding a reference to an external help set file (.hs file) when you generate Oracle Help (at the Oracle Help SubHelpSet dialog).

When you add the reference, all of the elements in the external help set file are merged with your existing project. The table of contents, index, and search views merge together with existing views based on the type and label assigned to them (for more information, see Oracle Help remote views).

Note: You can add external navigation views (table of contents, index, and full-text search) as remote views, but adding the reference to an external .HS file adds all of the views, along with other project files, to your existing project all at once.
