New in 2.0: Smart Help Button

It’s a small thing, but very useful, especially to those who are new to ExpressionEngine.

The “Help” button in the main navigation of the EE 2.0 Control Panel changes its link depending on where you are in the Control Panel. So, if you’re on the homepage of the CP, the Help button links off to the Control Panel Home Page page of the docs. When viewing the Snippets screen, the Help button helpfully links to the Snippets documentation.

Nice bit of detail in the 2.0 Control Panel.

It’s also worth noting that this works for modules, and even third-party modules, who can create a finely grained help system for their control panel pages.
