In Salesforce Classic, object-level help replaces the links for a custom object or external object page. Replace built-in Salesforce Help with documentation that’s customized for your users.
- Object-Level Help in Salesforce Classic
Help your users by providing object-level help for all custom objects and external objects. This way, when your users click the Help for this Page link on your custom object, they’ll find useful information that’s relevant to your custom object. When you add custom help to a custom or external object, the Help for this Page link on those object pages displays your custom help instead of generic help. Your users can access the custom help content from the object home (overview), detail, and edit pages, list views, and related lists. - Define Object-Level Help in Salesforce Classic
Object-level help overrides the Help for this Page links for a custom object or external object with your own help content contained in a Visualforce page. To make object-level help available to all your users, create a Visualforce page that contains your help content. Then edit the custom or external object definition to reference the page. Object-level help becomes available to all your users instantly. - Create a Custom Object Help Page with Static Content in Salesforce Classic
