Installation Requirements

Scheduled Updates

Admins now have greater control over when product updates are installed for their teams. Plan and automate updates to suit your organization’s schedule, so you can offer earlier updates for testing and then roll out later updates for production users. This helps reduce manual effort and provides more predictable update timing across the organization.

Help Documentation

The product Help documentation is available online and offline. The offline Help isn't automatically installed with the product. If you don't have a continuous connection to the Internet and want to install Help locally, you can download offline Help from the product Help menu when you have an Internet connection.

After installing offline Help, follow these steps to choose online or offline Help.

  1. At the Command prompt, enter OPTIONS.
  2. In the Options dialog box, System tab, click or clear the option, Access online content when available.
  3. Click OK to apply the change and close the Options dialog box.
