Hi,
There are two properties that varies between Conceptual and Contents
Topic Types. The Auto Subtopic Links and the Suppress Empty Topics have
different values for different Topic Types.
The Auto Subtopic Links (or AutoButtons in Doc-To-Help 2007) is True for
Conceptual and False for Contents. The Suppress Empty Topics is True for
Contents Topic Types and is False for conceptual Topic Types.
The Auto Subtopic Links, when True, displays subtopic buttons for
paragraph styles with numeric outline levels greater than the parent
level.
If Suppress Empty Topics is set to True, it omits topics
defined with this paragraph style or topic type that have no text except heading
from online help except in TOC.
This property is usually set to True in the Contents topic type that is
commonly used for the top-level style, such as Heading 1. Top-level topics often
do not contain any text, appear only in TOC as book titles containing
lower-level topics. Then it is often preferable that these (empty) topics are
not shown in the help window when the user selects the corresponding book
title.
If you update the Topics pane and do not Rebuild the entire project,
those changes will not take into effect.
I hope this would be helpful.

Hi, im new to Doc-to-Help and am in the process of evaluating it.
When i create a document and rebuild my project, the topics window is
updated with 2 rows for this document.
One row for the document has a type of 'Conceptual' and the other has type
'Content'.
Can someone please explain the difference and what 'conceptual' is used for
in relation to my project?
I have added the 'content' type topics to my TOC, but dont know what (if
anything) i should be doing with the 'Conceptual' topics.
Also is there any way to update the topics list (window) with a newly
created document without rebuilding the entire help?
Thanks in advance
