Renaming topic titles

To rename a topic title:

  1. Click the Topics tab and select the topic.

  2. Click Properties .

  3. Click the General tab.

  4. In Topic Title, change the text.

  5. The topic's file name is not changed. If you want it to use the same name as the title, change the text in File Name.

  6. Click OK. The topic's title is updated. You will see this new title (and file name if you also changed it) from the Project Manager and Topic List.

  7. If you also want to change the heading in the topic to reflect the new title, edit the text.

Tips:

  • Renaming topics affects other items in your project that are based on the title. For example, consider renaming keywords, TOC books and pages, related topic titles, ALink names and text links (the clickable text users see in the topic content is not automatically updated, although the path to the actual link is).
