Do this step by step

Browsing categories and viewing articles

The Help Center has four main categories. Depending on where you are in your Showpad journey and your role within your organization, you can find the following information:

• Getting Started: Everything you need to start using Showpad, whether you're an admin, user, or manager.
• Showpad administration: All the content admins need to build and manage their Showpad organization. 
• Using Showpad: Here, Showpad users and sellers can find all the articles on how to learn, personalize, and share using Showpad's apps. 
• Developer Portal: Learn more about how to build on Showpad's Enablement Operating System (eOS) in the Developer Portal.

• To browse all content, open the categories and browse through the available sections.
• When opening an article, you'll see corresponding articles in that section on the left side of the screen.
• Related articles can be found at the bottom of the page.
• We value your feedback! At the bottom of each article, you will see an option to submit feedback. Start by clicking Yes or No to let us know if you found the article helpful. Then, optionally, add written feedback. Type your feedback and click Submit. Please understand that we’re not able to respond to your submission.

Finding answers quickly

The fastest way to find what you seek is to use search functionality. Type a keyword in the search field, and you will automatically see article suggestions.

Search like a pro using these tips and tricks.

• Use keywords rather than a complete sentence.
• Enclose a word or phrase in double quotes to search for articles that include only that word or phrase.
• To exclude results containing certain words, place a minus sign before each word. Example: "share assets" -email -link

Pinpoint what you need by using the features on the search results page.

1. View color-coded tags in the breadcrumb navigation to identify search result categories.
2. See a snippet of the article with your search terms in bold and italics.
3. Use the left menu to select a source and type of information. If looking for an article, isolate by category. If searching within the community, select a relevant topic.

Viewing updates and information in the navigation bar

The top menu gives you access to helpful Showpad info and updates.

• The News menu houses the What's New, What's Coming, and Release Notes articles, which inform you of all upcoming or recently released features.
• The Resources menu is where you can view the System Status and Requirements pages, Download Links or the Showpad apps, Glossary, Features by Platform table, Showpad Academy, and the Showpad website.
