how to add large number of RoboHelp docs to SharePoint version control

[zeppm]

I'm on RH11, and some version of SharePoint of which I'm not sure. I'm able to add one document at a time to SharePoint version control from within RH (File > Version Control), but I need to have about 49,000 with version control in RoboHelp.  I was able to get the files into SharePoint, but now I need to get RoboHelp to be handle the large number of files.

How do I get RoboHelp to give version control to a large number of documents at once?

Are you talking about individual files or projects? I assume individual files, since 49,000 projects may be a bit on the heavy side.

If you add a project to version control, RoboHelp will add all the files to SharePoint. This will take quite a bit of time (set RH to add it before you go out for lunch or before you go home). In the end, you can check in the entire project with a single click. Or are you seeing something else?

You can always manipulate RH's .apj files to very quickly add loads of files to a project. If you have the files in SharePoint, you can update the FPJ files (Use the following script: Missing topics fixer). Then remove the CPD and start the project.

Yes, it was files, about 15 projects, but now I have to get RoboHelp to connect to SharePoint, and that's something I haven't figured out.  Everything is nicely in SharePoint, but it's one error message after another trying to get RoboHelp to allow version control.  I can open SharePoint files within RoboHelp, but I can't get the versioning to work.
