Managing an Index
After you create an index, you can perform several common index management tasks, such as view all topics in a book, removing unused topics, find entries, edit entries, and delete entries. When you make changes to index entries or page numbering in your document or book, you need to update the index (generate a new one). If you just want to update the preview area in the Index panel, you can use the Update preview button on the panel.
