Just retested with the TB77 20240820 nightly of master against 25.2.0. None of the SB decks are successfully linked to their Help articles. <F1> for each tab bar deck launches to the module specific Help welcome landing article. Same result with the local/off-line Help installed, just opening the local copy of the module's welcome landing article. =-testing-= Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a05432f02b6441b66addc0f22f1b8444557ac37b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
Sorry for taking so long to respond. It looks like there are a some widgets that still get a 404 message, and a few that don't have a unique page, so they just go to a generic page. I'll fix the links that can be fixed. The "Help" button should at least be working, though. That might be a Windows specific issue with the UI.

I notice that if I activate the "What's This" widget from the main menu Help, and click on any button control (Standard TB, or SB Tabbar) it simply performs the action with no Help response. While if working in the main app frame, the <F1> help seems blind to the linked widget and only returns the generic Help landing for the active module. But when a dialog (e.g. Tools -> Options, Special Character, etc.) is open the <F1> is linking/reaching its article. =-testing-= with local/off-line help installed Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: a05432f02b6441b66addc0f22f1b8444557ac37b CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

Still having issues reaching the correct help articles. If I open one of the module dialogs, e.g. Paragraph, or Character, an <F1> while focus into the dialog launches and lands on the article appropriate for the active tab of the dialog. But, if I do the same from any SB deck tab button or Content Panel, or likewise any TB button--I get only the generic help for the module. =-testing-= Version: 25.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: d14e79bf7680db2180e40ba52fc3305a84c586f6 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10 X86_64 (10.0 build 19045); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded
