Help content configurations
You can configure the product help content in one of three ways. You can use
the default connection to the remote IBM® Knowledge Center that
is on the Internet. Team members can download product help and deploy the IBM Knowledge Center
locally on their computers. Or, an administrator can download product help and deploy the IBM Knowledge Center on a server on the network.
