Thank you Regis!

Works well in OOo 3.3, using local help.
Reproduced in 3.6.2.2. and a recent master build:

Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 609a1567d0e60ca11800df56059b97b6a61ad117
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

It should lead to https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/01/extensionupdate.html

> Can someone help me with providing code pointer.

It is already provided in the description. You need to edit the corresponding source/text/shared/01/extensionupdate.xhp in help repository.

The help repo is cloned as a submodule when you use

--with-help=html

in your autogen.input

See this: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Submodules

After your patch has been merged, you need to say in the core directory

git submodule update

and that will correctly checkout away from your local branch and you can go back to the helpcontent2 directory to delete the branch.
