Microsoft Dynamics AX Help content is updated periodically to address feedback and product changes. This topic describes how to specify the location where Microsoft Dynamics AX client workstations access updated Help content and how to download updated Help content.

Specify where to locate updated Help content

You can specify a Web page or a file share where users on client workstations can download updated content. The default option is a Web page, but you might specify a file share if you want to manage Help content versions across multiple client workstations, or if you want to restrict Web downloads during peak business hours.

Use this procedure to configure a workstation to download updated Help content from a Web page or a file share.

  1. In the Microsoft Dynamics AX client, click Administration > Setup > Help Update parameters.

  2. Select the appropriate option and enter the location.

  3. Close the form to save changes.

Download updated Help content

Updated Microsoft Dynamics AX Help files are available in English and a limited set of additional languages.

  1. Find the most recent downloadable Help files on the Web.

  2. Download and install the updated Help files to the location you specified earlier in this topic.

  3. On each client workstation, click Help > Check for Updates to the Help.
