Actual Results: Can't connect with android "Impress Remote" Expected Results: 1. Enable checkboxes for remote option on Tools/Options/Impress/General 2. Connect with android "Impress Remote" Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: No connecting to the android "Impress Remote" software.
Confirm the missing section in the UI: This is from Help: "Open LibreOffice Impress. Go to Tools – Options – LibreOffice Impress – General. You should see the screen depicted in the figure below. In the presentation options, select the Enable remote control checkbox and click OK."
Here is the help page about this with a screenshot that it is not correct at this moment in the UI. https://help.libreoffice.org/24.8/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX
It's in menu "Slide Show" then "Slide Show Settings" It's been moved into another dialog at the end of 2023 with 7ca9c5bd2e2e3cda5686b7b8f5b657161eb52cdd Move "Enable Impress Remote" setting to presentation settings Instead of hiding it in the generic options dialog. This moves the last presentation related option to the presentation settings. Samuel: I noticed "learnmore" id in sd/uiconfig/simpress/ui/presentationdialog.ui but it doesn't seem to be used. Should we drop this or is it something to use?
T(In reply to Julien Nabet from comment #3) > It's in menu "Slide Show" then "Slide Show Settings" Correct! Then, this bug is about documenting this in online help and Impress Guide.
(In reply to BogdanB from comment #4) > ... > Correct! > Then, this bug is about documenting this in online help and Impress Guide. Ok let's cc Olivier then.
Thank you but don't forget to update the documenting inside the Impress Remote software (Android / v.2.6.1) too cause it is still the former documentation ;)
I tried to make changes to the help page, but there all is ok ---- source/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.xhp ---- <paragraph id="par_id170820171213414955" role="ol_item" xml-lang="en-US">>Open the <link href="text/simpress/01/06080000.xhp"><menuitem>Slideshow Settings</menuitem></link> dialog:</paragraph> ----- But if I try the latest version of Help the change is not there: https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX I don't understand.

The change has been done with a2c5184f0ddc6b4b2c86889a536655aa8ec19472 (see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/help/+/171958) tdf#162483 Update instructions for enabling remote control in Remote User Guide In text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.xhp - Updated instructions to reflect the current UI options - Replaced the outdated screenshot with the one shown in text/simpress/01/06080000.xhp, which depicts the current location of the "Enable remote control" checkbox. - Added a link to the Slideshow Settings page in the "Related Topics" section In text/simpress/01/06080000.xhp - Added self-link and section tags so that content can be easily embedded in other pages. and pushed 16/08/2024. Now I don't know the process so website is synchronized with helpcontent2.

Olivier, I wanted to test this and if I go to this page with the latest updates https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/simpress/guide/impress_remote.html?&DbPAR=SHARED&System=UNIX I can see the same: Go to Tools – Options – LibreOffice Impress – General. But those settings have another place now.
