Removing and exporting files stored in the Baggage section are generally quite straightforward operations but there are a couple of points you need to bear in mind. You can also import the baggage files from other projects.

Click to expand/collapseRemoving and exporting Baggage files

Removing Baggage files:

1.Go to Project Files > Baggage Files in the Project Explorer and select the Baggage file you want to remove.

2.Press DELETE or select Add File > Delete Entry in Project > Manage Topics.

Note that this physically deletes the selected file from your project. If you want to keep a copy of it export it first before deleting it (see below).

Exporting Baggage files:

This saves a copy of the selected Baggage file in a new location (for example to back up the file before removing it from your project).

1.Go to Project Files > Baggage Files in the Project Explorer and select the Baggage file you want to export.

2.Select Save Baggage File As... button in the lower right corner of the Help & Manual window.

Click to expand/collapseImporting Baggage files from other projects

You can import all the Baggage files from another Help & Manual project to the current project.

Files with duplicate names will be overwritten when you do this.

1.Select the Baggage Files section in the Project Explorer.

2.Select Add File > Add New File in Project > Manage Topics and select the Help & Manual you want to import the Baggage files from.

3.You will be asked if you want to import the Baggage files from the selected project. Confirm to import the files.

Click to expand/collapseRenaming Baggage files

You cannot rename Baggage files directly in Help & Manual. To rename a Baggage file remove it from the Baggage list (see above), rename the original file and then add it to the Baggage list again.

Warning: Do not attempt to rename Baggage files on the disk in Windows Explorer, doing this will cause errors in your project!
