Doc-To-Help Build Panel

The Doc-To-Help Build panel lets you view and troubleshoot build outputs directly from Word. A progress bar and percentage indicator in the bottom right corner of the panel will also display build progress. Additionally, if there is a build error or unresolved link, you can view the errors from this panel.

The panel will split into tabs (at the bottom of the panel) as the specified target builds. One tab is the Build Log; the other displays the Error(s) and Unresolved Link(s) (if any). On the Build Log tab, click the Open build log link to open a text version of the build log.

The Errors and Unresolved Links tab displays detailed information so that you can troubleshoot the issues found during the build. Right-click in the panel for options to change the column display or sort. Click the Errors, Warnings, or Unresolved Links buttons to sort by each of these error types.

For more information about building targets, see Building Targets.

  1. In Word, select the Target ribbon.
  2. In the Project section, select Build Log. The Build Log is displayed.

Note You can also configure Doc-To-Help to automatically display the build log for each build. Go to File > Doc-To-Help > Common Tasks > Options > General and check the option for Display Build Log automatically for each build.
