Updating Cross-References

If you insert cross-references into topics and then later edit the formats for those cross-references (or make other changes in the project that might affect them), you can update the cross-references in a topic. By updating cross-references, you are essentially "refreshing" them so that they reflect any pertinent changes in the project since you inserted them.

Updating cross-references is not a mandatory step. When you generate output for a target, all of your cross-references will be updated automatically. However, you can use this feature to manually update cross-references in a single topic. This is a way of performing a "spot check" ahead of time, verifying that cross-references will be updated accurately before you generate the output.

How to update cross-references

1. Open a topic.

2. Select Tools>Update Cross-References.

   The Update Cross-Reference dialog opens, displaying the destination topics of your cross-references.

3. Click Update.
