TOGAF Books
The use of books simplifies collaborative work by offering possibilities of adding notes in paragraphs, by enabling automatic update of inserted components, and management of access to objects currently being modified. In addition, books use the capacities of HOPEX to manage several languages.
Accessing TOGAF 9 book templates
In order to create instances of deliverables, HOPEX Suite for TOGAF has integrated a documentation structure based on books. These book instances are created from TOGAF 9 book templates.
The TOGAF 9 book templates are only available if the "TOGAF 9 - Data" add-on has been imported.

Templates must not be modified by the Project Manager! Only instances of books should be modified.
