The Help Preferences dialog controls how help documentation is displayed when you use the Help > Help Contents command.

On Windows, this dialog is accessed via the command Edit > Preferences. On Macintosh, it is accessed using SeqNinja > Preferences (macOS 12 and lower) or SeqNinja > Settings (macOS 13 and higher). If the Help section is not already active, click Help on the left. Note that there is no need to use the expand arrow to the left of “Help.” Its only sub-menu item, “Contents,” is disabled in SeqNinja.

  • Specify the browser used to display the SeqNinja Help search results by selecting one of the following options from the Open help search menu:

    • In the dynamic help view to display the SeqNinja Help search results in a new section of the Help interface. This is the default setting.

    • In a browser to display the SeqNinja Help search results in your default web browser.
  • (On Windows only) Choose how to display the SeqNinja Help contents by selecting one of the following options from the Open help contents menu:

    • In the help browser to display the SeqNinja Help content in a new section of the Help interface. This is the default setting.

    • In an external browser to display the SeqNinja Help content in your default web browser.

The ContextHelp options in the lower half of the dialog are not applicable to SeqNinja.

Click Apply and OK to save your changes or Cancel to ignore any changes. Click Restore Defaults to return to the default settings for all four drop-down menus.
