Ben Chase Posted Monday at 09:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:11 PM I'd like to configure Sonar to "Always Use Local Help", but can't find the download link on the website or in Product Center. Anyone know where to find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted Monday at 09:47 PM Share Posted Monday at 09:47 PM You can download the Cakewalk Reference File from right at the top of this forum, though Cakewalk Sonar is net yet able to access it from within the program, as far as I know.

Canopus Posted Tuesday at 06:34 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:34 AM But the local help file is not the pdf reference, but a file called Sonar.chm, stored in Sonar's program folder. It was initially not available for Sonar Free Tier, but, according to a recent post, support has responded to a request that it was "actively working on resolving it for a future update." I don't know if that has happened yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Sasor Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:15 PM Download for local help in Sonar will show on the Product Updates tab of the Start Screen. Just make sure you then set the option to use the local help in the Preferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: When I set the local help option, it is unset the next time I open Sonar. Edited 17 hours ago by henkejs Additional information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the Product Updates tab of the Quick Start Screen and install Local Help. Once an update has been installed, it will disappear from the Product Updates tab on next open of the Start Screen.

That's the problem -- local help doesn't appear on the update tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henkejs Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago As an experiment, I copied the sonar.chm file from Platinum (dated 2017) into the directory with the new Sonar executable. That help file displays in new Sonar even though it's out of date. Still no sign that Sonar recognizes this file needs to be updated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
