TopBraid Composer installations include detailed Help files for features supported by Composer. Help files are updated with each release. Help files include all topics in the Composer family (Free, Standard, and Maestro editions), with specific statements on features restricted to an edition (e.g. "This feature is available in TopBraid Composer - Maestro Edition only").

Help files are available for Browsing, Searching, and Dynamic Help.

Help Contents

General Help contents can be found by opening Composer and choosing Help > Help Contents from the top menu. This will open a separate window with Help topics for all plugins supplied with Composer. Open TopBraid Composer and click on one of the topics, as shown below:

Searching Help

Searching the Help files is also available. Typing a string into the Search field and clicking "GO" will search all Help topics included in the installation. This includes Composer and other Eclipse plugins. To reduce the search to a selected set of topics - e.g. searching only Composer topics - create a search scope:

Click on "Search Scope" at the top of the Help window. Select "New..." Name the new search scope and click the topics to search (e.g. search TopBraid Composer only). Click OK to save the named search scope and make sure this is selected in the "Selected Search Scope" window. Click OK. Searches selected using this scope will be restricted to the selected topics.

Dynamic Help

Help topics can also be displayed dynamically in a contextualized set of related topics. Choose Help > Dynamic Help. A Help view will appear containing Related Topics links for the selected Composer view (tab). Selecting different views will change the Dynamic Help to topics related to the view. The Help view can also be used to display and search general Help, as shown here:
