WebWorks Reverb 2.0
WebWorks Reverb 2.0 can now be viewed directly from your computer’s file system or from a running web server. This means that you can use this format to deliver online help as part of a non-networked help system. However, in order to provide Reverb’s social-media capabilities (i.e. commenting, likes) to your end-users you must deploy the output to a system that is running a web server. Then your end-users must access the content via an http or https url. If you do not have a web server, you can configure IIS on Windows or any other available web server software. For more information on IIS, consult the following resource.
When you are using ePublisher to generate WebWorks Reverb, ePublisher includes a viewer that you can use on the computer where you installed ePublisher to view the WebWorks Reverb output you generated using ePublisher.
