Modifying the Topic Description

A Topic's description is modified in Author-it Live by opening the Topic in the Editor, selecting the description field, and making changes. When the Topic is available for editing the description appears in the topic description bar directly above the topic toolbars. If the topic is locked by another user the topic description cannot be modified.

Note: When you change the topic's description field the General tab in the object's properties is updated. The Print, Web, and Help tabs still need to be updated.

To Change the Topic Description:

1. Open the topic in the Topic Editor. The description appears directly above the toolbars.

   

2. Click anywhere in the topic description bar to display the editing field.

   

3. Make the changes to the topic description and click anywhere outside the topic description bar to close the field.
4. Save the changes to the topic.
