Access the help documentation

ArcGIS AllSource help documentation is provided online and through the installed help. If you can't access the help documentation through either means, a compact version of the help can be used instead. Context-sensitive help is also provided through the user interface in the form of ScreenTips, messages, and pop-ups.
