You can add remote help connections to add other product documentation into
your help system. You can use these controls to test, enable, and disable connections to IBM® Knowledge Centers.
About this task
When you want to have access to the documentation for multiple products at the same time, you can
add multiple IBM Knowledge Center URLs so that all of the
content loads into the same help system. For example, when you have products that integrate with
each other, you might find it useful to have both sets of documentation available and searchable at
the same time.
