Customizing Help Option in UI3

[dps]

The Help option HTML content in UI3 is easily modified by editing the help.html file in the "C:\Program Files\Blue Iris 5\www\ui3\help" folder. In Word, the HTML file can be edited directly with the proper file permissions and updated live. Very helpful while creating the content for a non-HTML coder like myself.

Our end users need a quick reference specific to our Surveillance System. Saves on support tickets and help desk time.

Keep in mind that every Blue Iris update will overwrite that help file. If you want something that doesn't get overwritten, make a copy and direct users to that. (I'd suggest hosting the copy outside of the ui3 folder, maybe even on a different web server entirely if you have a convenient one)

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the tip!
