How do I start a second manual

How do I start a second manual

I made a manual as my generic, now I want to make another manual using the same files. I made all my files through the dita map of the first manual. Now that I want to make the second one, i can't do a save as, there is no link, therefore I started another dita map. Now I don't see the files that are saved on my hard drive to pick from I only see the dita map created, if I try to insert file they are directly linked to the previous dita map in the filename. How do I make a second manual from those files if I can't pick from them?St

Hi Tyler,

I'm a bit confused as to the issue, perhaps a few more details and a screenshot or two would help?

Is the issue really that you cannot do a 'Save As'?

How are you trying to insert the topics from the initial document? Are you using the Resource Manager? Or are you inserting a topic element, and trying to navigate to the correct folder?

Sorry Rafael, you are correct the issues is that I could not do a save as. I actually restarted from scratch using the same master files. I assumed that if I made a manual with the common material that i could do a save as for the second and just add the extra material.

Hi Tyler,

Just clarifying things, does the above mean you resolved the issue, or are you still having problems? Thanks!
