# Overview

The Help Centre is the longer-form guide library for PlotDirector. Contextual help icons give quick explanations while you work; the Help Centre gives fuller guidance when you want to understand a page or workflow in more detail.

The articles are written for writing practice rather than technical administration. They explain how tools fit into planning, drafting, revision, continuity and series management.

You can search for a topic, browse by category, or open a full article from a help drawer.

# When Should I Use This?

Use the Help Centre when a quick tooltip is not enough. It is helpful when you are learning a new area, returning to a feature after a break, or trying to understand how several planning tools connect.

It is also useful when you know the writing problem but not the page name. Search for terms like "restore", "warnings", "assets" or "scenes".

# How To Use It

Enter a term in the search box or browse the category list. Open an article to read the full guide. Related guide links at the bottom of articles can lead you through connected workflows.

If you open a guide from a help icon, the Help Drawer can keep the article beside the page while you work.

# Example

You see a continuity warning and are not sure whether to dismiss it or mark it intentional. Search the Help Centre for "warnings" and open the guide before deciding.

# Writer Tip

Use help when you are choosing a workflow, not only when something feels broken. A good guide can save several minutes of wandering.

# Common Mistakes

- Looking only for exact page names instead of writing terms.
- Ignoring related guides when a feature connects to another workflow.
- Expecting tooltips to contain the full explanation.
- Leaving the Help Drawer open to an old article after changing pages.
