The project library is a centralized location within HelpNDoc’s projects where technical writers can store and manage their help content, such as images, documents, videos, bar codes, equations, HTML code…
Reusing items from the library in multiple topics within a help documentation project has several benefits. It improves consistency, saves time and effort, reduces the risk of errors, saves disk space, and keeps the project organized. By using the same items, users can create documentation more efficiently and make changes more easily.
Overall, the library is an essential tool for creating high-quality, well-organized documentation.
