Configuring more remote help connections

You can add more remote help connections to add other product documentation into your help system.

About this task

When you want to have access to the documentation for multiple products at the same time, you can add multiple Knowledge Center URLs so that all of the content loads into the same help system.

For example, when you have products that integrate with each other, you might find it useful to have both sets of documentation available and searchable at the same time.

Procedure

  2. Click the Remote help configuration tab.
  3. Click New.
