Help module unavailable


Recommended Posts

AFAIK, there have always been three tabs in the browser. Currently those tabs are for media, plug-ins and notes. The help module may be docked on the same side as the browser but does not appear as a tab. The help module is a separate window. Its keyboard shortcut is Y.

You're right about the Help Module not being a tab, sorry, it's actually a separate window. Nevertheless, it has been a bit elusive to find and open for a newcomer like me. There is a help button (with a question mark icon) at the right-hand media/plug-ins/notes module  when folded, which is supposed to open the Help module, but doesn't do anything when you click on it:

I've now found that it will only show that module if you have managed to open it first by other means (like the keyboard shortcut you mention, which works fine by the way -- thanks for the tip).

Regards,

Daniel

"help module" is in the CbB help index

Usually I find just what I need by loading the help index in a browser then search the page.

Someday the full CbB help will be searchable like SONAR help. Until that time, if you cannot find want you want in the CbB help index, use the search in the upper right on http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/Home. The will return help pages about SONAR and other older Cakewalk products. Filter the result for "SONAR Platinum, Professional, Artist Documentation." The filters are just above the search results. Most times, the SONAR Platinum help is sufficient.

Often it is possible to build a link to the CbB help by replacing SONAR with Cakewalk in the url. For example, searching for "help module" and filtering the result for "SONAR Platinum, Professional, Artist Documentation" yield this link as the first result

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=SONAR&language=3&help=Views.52.html

probably all that is necessary in this case (although I would have already found help module in the CbB index) but to view the CbB page change the url to

https://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation?product=Cakewalk&language=3&help=Views.52.html
