Updating content in the help system

If the producer of the documentation contents makes updated content available periodically for you to download, you can download that updated content on a regular basis from within the help system.

To check whether there are any updates available and download them to your local system:

  1. Click Update (Updater) on the tool bar. You will see a list of installed document sets.

    Exception: The Update icon is not available if the producer of this documentation set does not make updated content available.

  2. Click Find Updates on the bottom of the list to start finding available updates. The documentation producer provides updates (if any) at a server location. A progress bar will be displayed while any updates are being located.
  3. Once updates have been located, in the search results for the latest updates, two lists are displayed: Updates for existing documentation and New documentation. Select the check boxes corresponding to the documentation sets you want to install.
  4. Click Install Updates to install the documentation sets you have selected.
  5. Click Finish when the installation is done. You do not need to restart the help system. It will refresh automatically to show the updated content.
