Updating help content

Use the Local Help Updater to ensure that you have the latest help content.

Before you begin

You have installed help content locally, using a public update site.

About this task

Updates are automatically installed each time you start the product, if you have an Internet connection and you used a public update site to install the content locally.

If you downloaded a ZIP file containing an update site for better performance during installation, you will not be notified by the Local Help Updater when new help content is available. You can check for updates at this Web site, or you can monitor the product support page for technotes announcing new help content.

Procedure

To update the help without restarting the product, complete the following steps:

  1. Close the product help system window.
  2. Open the Local Help Updater by selecting Help > Local Help Updater. The Updater site opens.
  3. Click the Installed Features tab.
  4. Click Search for Updates. If updates to the content you have installed are available, they are installed to your system. A progress bar indicates the status of the request.
  5. When the update is completed, open the help in the product by selecting Help > Help Contents.
