Unreferenced Topics reports

The Unreferenced Topics report tracks all the topics in your project that are not referenced in the table of contents, index, or in other topics. This report is customizable. Use it to identify:

Tips:

  • This report will identify topics that lack navigation so you can create links to them from other topics.

  • You can find out what topics are not included in the table of contents so you can create books or pages for them.

  • This report will isolate topics that are not yet included in the index so you can add keywords to them.

  • Some topics do not use references. For example, if you create window-level context sensitive Help, you might not reference any of these topics because they are only accessible when users press F1 or click Help at a window or dialog. From the list of topics that are not referenced, you can identify all the ones that you are using as context-sensitive Help topics.

Customizing the Unreferenced Topics report

You can generate information for a group of topics by selecting a specific folder from the Folder list.

Note: Filtering by author is not available with the current version.
