Admin Views has this new admin view called 'Help Document'. JCB have this Demo Component by default. To demonstrate it: This Demo Component is opened and a Helper structure is added to it. Presently it does not have any Helper structure. It is just a Demo Component with only a few structures.[00:03:28](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9YPu9emws&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h03m28s) It only has that Admin View and one view called 'Look'. It does not have a Custom view, but it got a Site view called 'Looks' and 'Looking'. First, go to the Admin Views and click '+' to add another row. We are going to add the View - Help Documents, the support icon.
If this un-ticked problem shows up, just close that and open it again and all those tick boxes will be in place. Repeatable fields will be phased out and you will end up working with sub forms in future.<<<<<<<<

We can do the Import, but it doesn't have a front end editing. We don't want it to have one and we would have it in the 2nd position. Maybe not part of the Main Menu. We'll [00:04:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9YPu9emws&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m52s) save this. We'll save and close. That's all it takes. You've just install the Sermon Distributor Package into your JCB, that added the Help Document Admin View, and I've just linked that view to the demo component. I'll go to the Compiler. I'm going to compile that demo component. As you can see here, it isn't yet installed on my website. This is quite important not to have it in installed on the website. I'm going to compile it, then I'm going to install it. [00:05:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9YPu9emws&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m43s)

### Demo - Help Document - New
Now if I go to Demo, we will see that it has this new Help Documents area. At the moment it doesn't have any Help Documents. What we can do to change that, is we can then go to the Help Documents, click New, and when it is opened, we'll select which group you want to Target. I'm just going to select all. Then I'm going to select in Location, Admin Area which I want to target a view. The Demo will be the Desk Dashboard. Then there is Help Documents. [00:06:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw9YPu9emws&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m23s) There is Import. I'm going to take Looks. I'm going to target Looks area. I can give it a title. I can say what type of help do I want, I want a link to an Joomla article, want to put in my own custom text, or I want a link to an external URL.
