By default, the help link available in the product opens the welcome page of the help system, allowing you to enter search criteria for the information you want to find.

- Storing images in the database
Administrators and users with the image_admin or content_admin role can upload and store images in the database. These images are saved in the Images [db_image] table. Uploading an image to the database allows it to be referenced from HTML fields by appending the name of the image to the URL of the instance.
