How to activate "Help" search

Postby CarolBly » March 18th, 2015, 4:21 pm

I'm new to all of this, but am very comfortable with learning from videos, manuals, forums, and built-in help functions. That said, for the life of me I have yet to be able to search a single word in the SCAL Help search option. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks, Carol

For example, I recently read posts about erasing and using the knife in SCAL. Wanting to learn more, I selected "Help" (F1) from the menu bar, selected the Index tab, put in the word "knife," hit the display button, and got nothing.

If anyone happens upon this post, here's what I figured out. There IS a way to search Help topics, just not where I expected to find it.
To find it, go to the menu bar and select "Online Video Tutorials." You will be redirected to the Craft Edge site where your options will be Video Tutorials, Written Tutorials and Help Documentation. The latter are searchable like a standard pdf.
If anyone from SCAL happens to read this, it might be helpful to change the "Online Video Tutorials" to something like, "Video/Written Tutorials."
Thanks so much,
Carol

Thanks Carol. I emailed Brandon and asked him for a response to this. Thank you for the suggestion. I tend to just manually search through the content which of course is not ideal. Will keep you posted.
