What files are generated when creating 1C metadata help for an EPF project?▼

How do I attach contextual help to 1C metadata objects using PowerShell?▼

You attach contextual help to 1C metadata objects by running the add-help.ps1 script. This automates the creation of Help.xml and HTML help pages, embedding documentation directly within the 1C environment.

Does adding help to 1C metadata require a specific project structure?▼

Yes, adding help to 1C metadata requires an EPF-like project structure. Your project must include Ext/Help and Forms metadata directories for the script to properly generate and integrate the help assets.

Can I update 1C form metadata to link generated help files automatically?▼

Yes, the help generation process optionally updates 1C form metadata automatically. This ensures the generated Help.xml and HTML pages are properly associated with their respective forms for in-app access.

What is the best way to provide in-app documentation for 1C objects without external files?▼
