Merged Help - are all those whwhatever.js and .htm files necessary in every child?

RoboHelp 11.0.4.291

I have merged 36 projects and 11K plus topics (works like a champ Mr. Grainge, et al - Thank you!).

Currently, the customers install the merged projects on their local server. We are going to move the whole kit and caboodle to "the cloud".

1. What are the best practices? - Just publish to the "cloud" server?

2. Are all those wh-whatever Javascripts and .htm files in the children really necessary? They are duplicated in very project's folder, can the parent handle it?

Thank you.

2. Take the whole kit and caboodle up to your web server just like the “local” website” you’ve got now

Thank you Jeff.

This thread reminds me of Rick Stone's classic reply to the question "do you need all the files?"

The response was "only if you want the help to work."
