Help projects are files that bring together all the elements of a Help system. The project file contains information about the content and properties of your Help system.
Content. Help project files assist you in managing and organizing the files and components that make up your Help system. It contains information about the location of your topics, images, and other files.
Navigation. Projects also consist of tables of contents and indexes - methods used to navigate (or move around) the Help system.
Properties. The project file also contains the settings information - such as window location - that makes your Help system look the way you designed it. When you create a new project, the basic (or default) settings are already made for you. You can modify these settings - such as adding custom windows or changing the size or location of a window - to suit your preferences and design needs.
