So, in the skin I'm using I see SEVERAL icons, including "previous" and "next" . However, when I go to the Webhelp properties window for my project, I don't have those options to include - only TOC, Index, Search, Glossary, and Print. Why would I not be able to include those icons and their functionality in Webhelp if they are in the selected skin? Is there another setting I'm missing?
Thanks,

Hi there
The skinny file simply offers a multitude of ways to manipulate the skin and different WebHelp elements.
What I'm seeing here is that ktbFL is expecting to see the Previous and Next buttons but they aren't appearing. And this would happen if you do not have a Browse Sequence defined as well as enabled in the output recipe.
First step is to click Tools > Browse Sequence Editor and ensure you define a sequence. Second step (after confirming a sequence exists) is to ensure it's been enabled i

Don’t you have to manipulate those in the Skin Editor?

In other programs that's where I've done it, but I don't see how to remove or add icons other than to add "new" ones, but the skin shows that the ones I need already exist. The only editing from there is to edit the icon image itself.... then I go to the output properties - in this case Webhelp Properties, and that seems to be where you choose which buttons you want to have in the toolbar, but the "next" and "previous" icons aren't in the list of offerings. I'm sure i'm missing something obvious, but what?

I don’t need to mess with skins, but I think the resource you should be consulting is Rick’s “Skinny on Skins” - http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/Downloads/Skinny_on_Skins.htm

First step is to click Tools > Browse Sequence Editor and ensure you define a sequence. Second step (after confirming a sequence exists) is to ensure it's been enabled in the output. And if memory serves, you have to check two places. First, in the SSL recipe, expand the Content Categories item, then click the default (or category of choice) category. Make sure the sequence is enabled there.
Next, click the Navigation section on the left and ensure "Enable Browse Sequence" is selected on the right.
Once you have done this, the buttons should be there after you generate output again.
Cheers... Rick

I'm having a similar issue and I've tried the solution listed in this post as well as another one without success. I hope someone can offer a suggestion.
Any suggestions?

The "Previous/Next" buttons ONLY work with a browse sequence - they don't "do" browsing history. You may want to create a sequence that spans the entire ToC - in RH2015 there's a flag to do that (older versions you had to fake it out with a sequence starting at level 0 IIRC)
