ArcGIS Pro help is provided through an online help system and an offline help system. If you can't access either system, a compact version of the help system can be used instead. Context-sensitive help is also provided on the user interface in the form of ScreenTips, messages, and pop-ups.
In addition, a number of learning resources are available from the ArcGIS Pro start page.
Open the help
You can open the help in a number of ways:
- In the upper right corner of the application window, click the View Help button. This button is always available.
- On the start page, click Help .
- In an open project, click the Project tab to open the Settings page. On the Settings page, click the Help tab on the left.
- Open a web browser to https://pro.arcgis.com.
Set the help source
By default, ArcGIS Pro uses the online help system. If you work offline or in an internet-restricted environment, you can change the help source to the offline help system. At some point, you may want to switch back from offline help to online help.
Note:
The offline help system is an application that must be downloaded and installed. See Download ArcGIS Pro for more information.
- Open the ArcGIS Pro Settings page in either of two ways:
- On the start page, click Settings .
- In an open project, click the Project tab on the ribbon.
- In the settings list on the left, click Options.
- On the Options dialog box, under Application, click General.
- Under Set general options for ArcGIS Pro, expand Help source and click an option:
- Online help from the Internet.
- Offline help from your computer (requires local help installation).
- Click OK.
Note:
If the offline help system is not installed, the option to use it as the help source is not available.
