A Single Version of Help
Just like with any new version of your software, after you upgrade to ProContractor version 4.3.0, your application will take you to the latest version of the Help when you access it from your application, by selecting the question mark icon, or by pressing F1.
This means that once we release a subsequent version - 4.3.1 for example - you will get the newest version of ProContractor content, even if you are on a prior version of ProContractor.
Note: While the Help content will exist only as a single version, it will include an archive of Release Notes for all prior releases.
With this change, we can help ensure:
- that you have access to the most up-to-date information about your application, including descriptions of the new features available in the latest version of the software.
- consistent and reliable information on tax updates, cloud deployment options, and so on.
- you don't encounter information which is outdated or no longer relevant.
