Automatic Operations When Loading Project

You create a KSW-enabled site and publish it. Then, in your web page editor, you add some topics, delete others, fix a missing title, remove a non-topic, etc. What happens when you open the KSW project again?

What files/folders KSW excludes or restores automatically
Most of the updates the project needs (as a result of web changes) are performed automatically at the time a project loads:

• Some files are excluded automatically, like the entry page (not a topic), or .EXE, .GIF, .JPG, etc. files, or files with non-web encodings, or, in general, any file not conforming to a standard web page. But .PDF and Word documents are accepted.

• A topic was deleted. Then all it's instances are removed from TOC. Also, it's index entry is removed, and all terms based on this topic are removed. If the topic was previously excluded, it is removed from the 'Excluded Items' list.

• A topic was corrupted. For instance, it has no more a title. Then topic is excluded.

• An excluded file was fixed. This topic is removed from the 'Excluded Items' list and added to 'Available Topics'.

• An excluded file was deleted. The file is removed from the 'Excluded Items' list.

• An invalid topic or file is added to a non-excluded folder. The file is added to the 'Excluded Items' list.

• Folders commonly used by page editors or KSW are also excluded automatically.

Important!
Whenever you see a load report warning about items being removed, check the report details to prevent unwanted exclusions or removals in case a topic was corrupted by accident, or a filename was changed by accident. See Changing Filenames of Topics. This is important because exclusions or removals of topics can cause quite drastic changes (all instances/terms of the topic are removed) that can be difficult to restore manually.

Note. Pressing 'Cancel' after loading a project, and before it is opened (before the KSW main window is opened), will discard all automatic changes. You may then repair any accidental web changes, and load again.  In addition, you could discard all changes by closing project and not saving (you may 'Discard Changes & Exit' at any time in the KSW main window, and all changes - including automatic changes - are discarded).
