# Accessing and navigating online help

The help browser lets you browse, search, and print online documentation for the product. To open the help browser, select Help > Help Contents in the Workbench. This opens the help browser to the bookshelf, which shows the major sets of documentation available.

To navigate online help:

1. Select the desired link on the bookshelf.
2. Expand the topic tree to find the information you are looking for. To view a topic, click the link in the topic tree.
3. Most topics provide a list of links to related topics at the bottom. Follow these links to learn more.
4. Use the Go Forward and Go Back buttons. These behave the same way back and forward buttons work in an Internet browser, taking you to topics you have already looked at.
5. To synchronize the navigation frame with the current topic, click the Refresh / Show Current Topic button or Show in Table of Contents button . This is helpful if you have followed several links to related topics in several files, and want to see where the current topic fits into the navigation path.

As an alternative to browsing the information this way, use the search engine. Type a query into the Search field at the top of the browser and click Go.
