Adobe RoboHelp (2019
release) ready for download
- Radical new clean interface -
properties panel for precise control - preview in place. The
lightweight file structure in
Adobe RoboHelp (2019 release) is very transparent.
- What you see in the Contents
panel is exactly what you'll see at the file explorer level. There
are no virtual folders or guesswork as to where to find and manage
project assets like topics, style sheets, graphics and videos.
- One huge improvement in Adobe
RoboHelp (2019 release) is preview in place. Instead of
interrupting your workflow to call up a separate dialog, you can
see your changes instantly.
- A new Properties Panel in Adobe
RoboHelp (2019 release) lets you make changes and see the effect
of edits immediately.
- Video is a crucial need these
days and it's easy to import YouTube, Vimeo and Adobe Captivate
eLearning modules into Adobe RoboHelp (2019 release).
- A totally new Search Engine
algorithm with autocomplete and fuzzy logic in Adobe RoboHelp
(2019 release) makes it easy for the end user to find what they
need quickly."
