Google turned up this YouTube channel when I looked for "RealmWorks tutorial video," but either I'm doing something wrong, or those videos don't actually apply to the current product. Many menu options appear to have different names, which I can handle - probably just a versioning thing. But 2m 36s into the second video in the series, I am told to check an option ("Show Nested Hierarchy") which just doesn't exist in my version of RW:

The menu option in question was renamed to "Show Containing Topic Hierarchy" since that video was made.

Lots of refinements to the various menus have been made, with new options being added, some options being renamed, and others being reorganized. So you'll likely run into a few other instances like this. When you do, just post the question here and someone should be able to quickly point you to the correct (new) information.

Thanks, rob. I did notice the renaming, and that's totally understandable - tutorial videos are pretty dang static. I just wasn't able in this case to make any kind of mental map between the old and new names, and it didn't seem like anyone else was discussing it. Is there a ChangeLog somewhere that would tell me what things have been renamed to?

A change log of sorts is available in the Release Notes, accessible through the program itself. Click on the "manual" icon under the "help" ribbon. "Release Notes" is the last item listed.

RW pales into insignificance for things like this compared with Campaign Cartographer by Profantasy.

I love that software to little tiny minty balls (I love maps, I can play with maps all day, and have done) but in their guidance it will confidently say, "When you do X the software will do Y and Z" and then when you try it does not do that thing or anything like it, and it will sit there looking at you, waiting for you to tell it what to do.

RW at least consistently does what is described.
