Use Offline Help for Revit

If you do not want to use the Autodesk Help that is available online for Revit, you can set up the software to always access the locally stored Help files instead.

When you install a Revit content pack, the complete set of Help files is stored locally on the target computer.

By default, when you access Help from the software, it detects whether you can connect to the Internet, and automatically displays the appropriate Help.

• For users who can connect to the Internet, Autodesk Help displays. Autodesk Help can be updated and added between releases. Users can comment on help topics.
• For users who cannot connect to the Internet, a locally stored copy of the Help displays. By default, the help files are stored in this location: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Content <release>\Help

If you prefer to always access the locally stored Help files (offline Help) instead of Autodesk Help, edit the Revit.ini file and, in the Documentation section, change the value of UseHelpServer to 0 (zero).

[Documentation]
UseHelpServer=0

If you want to use a copy of Help stored in another location, add the setting HelpFileLocation, and specify the path or URL to the Help system.

[Documentation]
UseHelpServer=0
HelpFileLocation="M:\RevitResources\Help\en-US\WBH\index.html"

After saving changes to Revit.ini, restart the software to see the results.
