Under targets, select the blue help folder, and press compile! This

I'm extremely curious as to why this actually works for you.
The root cause of the problem, as already mentioned, is that Xcode
treats the folder reference (blue folder) as an atomic item, and
copies its contents in an all-or-nothing fashion. It only checks the
modification date of the folder itself, not of the individual files in
it. So if you add or remove files from the folder, it will be re-
copied on the next build, but if you simply edit the contents of a
file in it, Xcode will not just copy that one updated file.
I don't know of any mechanism whereby selecting the folder and
choosing Compile would do what you're asking, but I'll poke around and
see if there's some obscure mechanism that does it.
The best way is to use the Terminal and enter "touch /full/path/to/the/
helpbook/folder" to mark the folder as changed, then Xcode will recopy
the folder without having to do a full clean.
