Display HotDocs Warning Messages

Sometimes HotDocs warns you when it is about to perform an operation that could impact the work you are doing. When HotDocs displays these warnings, it gives you the option of suppressing the warnings the next time you perform a similar operation. You can have HotDocs re-display these warnings after you have suppressed them.

To cause HotDocs to display warnings

1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Template Development folder. The window changes to show several different template development options.
3. In the Warning Messages group, make your selection, based on the following information:
   • To have HotDocs warn you when it is about to convert a template to the current version of HotDocs, select Warn before automatically converting templates. (See Compatibility of HotDocs 11 Files with Earlier Versions of HotDocs and Convert a Single Template to a New File Format.)
   • To have HotDocs warn you when you edit a template that is using a shared component file, select Warn when editing pointed component files.
   • To have HotDocs warn you when you are moving a variable from one dialog to another, select Warn when variables automatically removed from dialogs. (See Use the Same Variable or Clause in Two or More Dialogs.)
   • To have HotDocs remind you that changes are saved when you close a Component Editor using buttons in the title bar, select Warn when component editors closed via title bar.

Now, when HotDocs performs related actions, it will display the associated warning.
