Importing a Robohelp Project

Follow the steps below to import an existing Robohelp project.

1. Use Windows File Explorer to copy the contents of the Robohelp project folder to the 'Import' folder in the HelpConsole project folder. If for example, both the Robohelp project and the HelpConsole project are named 'MyProject' then you will copy the files:
From: My Documents\My Robohelp Projects\MyProject\ (note: Copy all files and folders except "!Language!", "!SkinSubFolder!" and "!SSL!")

To: c:\program files\helpconsole 2010\MyProject\Import\

2. Open your HelpConsole project. If your project is named 'MyProject' then you can open the project with the url "localhost/helpconsole2010/myproject"

3. Click 'Login'. Enter your username and password to login.

4. You should see a flashing 'Import' icon on the 'contents' toolbar. Click this icon to import the files. Please be patient. If there are more than 40 pages, the import may take a couple of minutes.

5. After the import is complete, the pages will be added to the bottom of the contents, and can then be dragged to any location within your table of contents.
