Highlighting new Topics in the Table of Contents makes it easy for users of your Help System to identify new content when you issue a new version of your Help Systems. Document! X and HelpStudio provides a structured way to mark Topics as new in the Table of Contents.

By establishing (in the Build Profile Editor) a date after which Topics are considered new, Document! X and HelpStudio can automatically identify new or changed Topics and mark them as new in the generated Table of Contents.

1. Open the Build Profile Editor;
2. Select the New Content Highlighting page;
3. Tick the Automatically highlight new items tick box;
4. Select the Date after which items are considered new at which Document! X and HelpStudio should consider Topics as new;
5. Select the Use the Topic Creation Date option to automatically identify Topics changed or created since the date value you specified.
