Linking help to a screen

Connect any product screen to its guide with one component.

Linking help to a screen

The knowledge layer can surface the right guide directly inside the product, so users never hit a dead end.

How it works

  1. Give the guide a stable screen key in its front-matter:
    ---
    title: Managing invoices
    screen: billing.invoices
    ---
    
  2. Drop the ContextualHelp component on the matching screen:
    <ContextualHelp screen="billing.invoices" />
    

The component looks up the guide whose screen matches and renders a help link to it. If no guide matches that key, it renders nothing — so a screen never shows a broken help link.

Variants

<!-- Custom label -->
<ContextualHelp screen="billing.invoices" label="How invoicing works" />

<!-- Inline text link inside a sentence -->
See <ContextualHelp screen="billing.invoices" inline label="the invoicing guide" />.

This page itself is wired to the example.screen key as a live example.
