Update References

Updates the content of topicrefs, conrefs, or xrefs.

Depending on the type of file currently being edited, this dialog provides options for updating references in the file. If a DITA map is active, you have the option to update the selected topicref or all topicrefs in the file. If a DITA topic file is active, you can update xrefs and/or conrefs.

References in DITA Maps

Existing topicref elements can be updated so the label text reflects changes in the referenced file’s title. To update an existing topicref, select the label and choose the Update References command. The Update References command also lets you update all topicrefs in the DITA map reflect changes in the referenced files’ titles. This command honors the setting of the topicref’s locktitle attribute; if locktitle is set to ‘yes’ the navtitle text is not updated.

Update Selected Topicref: Updates the content of the selected topicref (only if a topicref is selected).
Update All Topicrefs in File: Updates all of the topicrefs in the current file to reflect any changes to titles in referenced files.

References in DITA Topics

Update All Conrefs in File: Updates all of the conrefs in the current file to reflect any changes to the source content.
Update All Xrefs in File: Updates all of the xrefs in the current file to reflect any changes to titles in referenced files.
