Here you can choose:

  • Whether you want online or local help, and if the later then where to store those help files.
  • To check to see if there are any new updates available for the files
  • To install new content from online or local locations
  • To remove content.

If you chose to check for updates it will check your versions against the latest at Microsoft and report back giving you the option of updating them if required.
