The dialog does not even have a help button or any other way to command the resource.

Looking at Calc 7 on windows (see details below), the Data > Data Provider and Data > Refresh Data Provider menu options appear to have been removed. If this functionality has been intentionally deleted from the software, then the relevant LO 7 Help page should be deleted rather than expanded.

Comment 3 Travis Stewart 2020-10-12 18:03:25 UTC 
It was removed in a Dec 2019 patch (https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/85541) because "the data provider feature is not ready for production". Based on the Jenkins output, it looks like it caused the Windows build to fail. Since then there have been a number of updates to the Data Provider feature, but I have no idea if they resolved the issues.
