Cutting and pasting is not possible with topic files in the Topic Files section because you are actually dealing with physical files. (See Moving, cutting and pasting topics for instructions on working with topic entries in the TOC.) However you can move files between folders and delete files in the Topic Files section.
Moving topic files and folders:
To move a topic file from one folder to another just drag it to the new folder with the mouse. You can also move folders in the same way.
Deleting topic files:
Just select the topic file in the Explorer and press DEL or right-click and select Delete File.
Renaming topic files:
You cannot rename topic files directly. To rename the topic file you need to edit the Topic ID.
1.Select the topic file in the Explorer.
2.Select the Topic Options tab on the left of the main editor window, edit the Topic ID and save your project to update the Topic Files display.
All references to the topic in the project will be updated automatically. However, since the ID changes any references to the topic from other help projects or elsewhere will no longer work. This includes links to specific topics in WebHelp from other websites, because the topic ID is also the name of the HTML topic file in WebHelp.
You should thus be cautious about renaming topics, particularly topics that get a lot of traffic on your website.
