Help within TYPO3 CMS¶
There are several features built-in to the user interface of the backend to help guide you when using the TYPO3 CMS.
Changed in version 12.0: The context sensitive help, also called "CSH" has been removed as it was outdated and not maintained. Refer to the TYPO3 online documentation instead.
