Default Outline Window

I added two main topics with subtopics which displayed in the outline window.
I tried adding a new main topic by right clicking on the file name; the
option to add main topic appears and adds a new main topic to the page but
does not update in the outline window. Is there a way to force a refresh of
the outline window?

Are you sure you don't mean the other way round?
For me a new entry gets created in the outline window but nothing
appears on the drawing. If you select the new topic in the outline
window, right-click - Select On Page then the shape appears, it was
created behind the outline window!

Thanks Paul, but the topic is getting created in the drawing but not in the
outline window. The only solution I have found right now is saving the file,
closing and reopening.

How about dropping a new Main Topic from the stencil?

Is the add-on running? Do the Brainstorming manu and toolbar appear?
