Viewing Output

You can view the generated output for any of the targets in your project. Viewing the output lets you verify that the output looks the way you want and to test it thoroughly. Following are steps for viewing the primary target output, as well as steps for viewing output for the other targets in your project.

How to view output for the primary target

1. Do one of the following:

   • In the Project toolbar, click . (If you do not see the Project toolbar, select View>Toolbars>Project.)

     OR

   • Press SHIFT+F6 on your keyboard.

     OR

   • Select Build>View Primary [name of target].
2. If the output for the target has not yet been generated or is out of date, a message lets you know and asks if you want to generate the output. Click Yes. The generated output opens.

How to view output for another target

1. In the Project toolbar, click the down arrow in the View Primary button . (If you do not see the Project toolbar, select View>Toolbars>Project.)

   The available targets are shown.

2. Select View [name of target].

3. If the output for the target has not yet been generated or is out of date, a message lets you know and asks if you want to generate the output. Click Yes. The generated output opens.

   Note: You can also view the output by opening the target and clicking in the local toolbar of the Target Editor.

WHAT'S NEXT?

After you view the output for the target, you can:

• Test the target output.

• If you are finished with your project, move on to the final step, Distributing Output.

Note: If you only want to see the output for one topic (not necessarily the entire target), follow the steps for previewing a topic instead.

  Best Practice: View and test topics as you work.
