Multiple TOCs

    About multiple TOCs

    You can create multiple tables of contents for a single project. You can use this feature for single-source publishing. For example, you can create separate tables of contents for a project that contains multiple languages or outputs for different audiences.
    Note: To set a TOC as default, right-click a TOC in the Project Manager pod and select Set As Default.

    If you merge subprojects into a master project, the tables of contents of the subprojects are available in the master project.

    Move books and pages to TOCs

    1. In the Project Manager pod, double-click tables of contents in the Table Of Contents folder.

    2. Drag books and pages from one Table Of Contents pod to another.
