HELP (Command)

Displays the online or offline Help system.

• Press F1 while hovering over a tooltip or when command is active to display Help for that command.
• In the Help window, left panel, specify audience and content filters to narrow your search results.
• Press Ctrl+F to locate a word or phrase within any topic.
