Override library items

Any library item created within the project can be overridden by each documentation build: every documentation output can have its own set of customized library items. Once a library item has been overridden for a specific build, the overridden values set for this library items will be used next time the build is generated.

Access the "Library overrides" panel

Each build have its own set of overridden library items. To access the "Library overrides" panel:

From HelpNDoc's "File" menu, click the top part of the "Generate help" button to show the "Generate documentation" window
Select a build in the build list
Click "Customize" if the build customization tabs are not visible yet
Navigate to the "Library overrides" tab

Overriding library items

To override a specific library item for the selected build, its "Overridden" column must be checked:

Locate the library item to override in the "Library overrides" panel
Check its "Overridden" checkbox

An overridden library item also needs overridden properties or it will be empty.
