Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide techniques for providing help content to users of software application, where the help content includes references to interface elements of a graphical user interface. A method for providing help information includes receiving a request for help content, where the requested help content includes a reference to an element of the GUI, determining a current location of an interface element in the GUI corresponding to the reference in the help content, and modifying the help content to specify the current location of the GUI element.
