TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for site operators who need to provide documentation to their site's authors, editors, and contributors within the WordPress admin. It solves the problem of repeatedly explaining site usage by letting operators build hierarchical help documentation directly into the admin area, including pulling in documents from other WP Help installs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WP Help

Anyone who can save posts. So by default, Authors, Editors, Administrators, and Contributors

Anyone who can publish_pages. So by default, Editors and Administrators.

Just like you'd reorder pages. Change the Order setting for the page, in the Attributes meta box. To make something be first, give it a large negative number like -100.

Use WordPress' internal linking feature. When launched from a help document, it will only search for other help documents.

Edit the help document you want to be the default. Check the "Set as default help document" checkbox, and save. This will now be the default document.

Documents that came from another WP Help install that is currently connected, cannot be edited (your changes would just be overwritten anyway). In order to edit these documents, you need to disconnect from sync permanently, or edit the at their source WP Help install.

Enabling sync will delete any documents that came in via another sync source. But it will not delete locally-created documents.

Not right now. But what you can do, is have a WP Help install that aggregates another WP Help install and is then itself used as a source for the combination of the two sites docs, to be delivered to a third site.

You cannot internally sort synced documents — just move the whole "chunk" of synced documents around.. Also, if a local help document is the only document in its level, it won't get a drag handle, because there's nothing to reorder. Give it a sibling, and you'll be able to order them how you like.
