Getting Started with Help Content and Integration

HelpStudio Lite, which is available from InnovaSys, is a tool that you can use to author, integrate, and deploy Help content. HelpStudio Lite replaces Help Workshop.

HelpStudio Lite includes documentation to help you write content and integrate it into the Visual Studio Help collection. You can find this documentation on the Help menu in the HelpStudio Lite development environment. For supplemental documentation, read the articles in the following list or, on the support tab on the InnovaSys Web site, click "Knowledge Base". This supplemental documentation explains how to interact with new features of Visual Studio Help, such as "How Do I" pages, and whether to use the Help Integration Wizard, or Help merge modules together with Microsoft Windows installer, to deploy, register and integrate your Help content.
