Help in the app
How to open Slicer help right in the web app and the app: “?” in the header, “How does this work?” in sheets, search across all the docs.
All of this documentation is available right inside Slicer — no need to leave for the site. Help opens where you're working and goes straight to the right article: from the editor's “+” sheet — about tracks and inserts, from the Speed panel — about clip speed. It's free and works on the web and in the app for iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Step 1 of 6
- On the Balance tab tap “?” in the header — the “Balance and packs” article opens
- Tap “‹” — the Help home: “Start here” and “Frequently asked questions”
- Type “speed” in “Search help” — sections of every article with the word
- Tap the first result — the article opens right at that section
- In the editor tap “+” — “How does this work?” at the bottom of the sheet
- Tap it — help about tracks opens over the sheet
Where to open it
| Where | What to tap | What opens |
|---|---|---|
| Screen header | “?” at the top right | The article about this screen, and in the editor — about the open mode or panel |
| A sheet | How does this work? at the very bottom | The article about what the sheet does, right at the right section |
| An editor tool panel | “?” next to ✓ Done | The section of the article about this tool |
| A setting's “?” hint | Learn more in Help | The article about the screen with the setting |
| Wide-screen sidebar | Help at the bottom | Help about the open screen |
What's inside
- Help home — Start here, Frequently asked questions, guide Topics and For developers (API, MCP, security). The “‹” in the Help header takes you home.
- Search — the Search help field at the top searches all the documentation at once as you type: article titles, sections and text. Tap a result and the article opens at that section.
- Articles — the same as on the site: steps, “Web” and “iPhone and iPad” tabs (yours is open first), step-by-step demos, tables, code samples. Links to other articles open right there, “‹” goes back.
- The site — the globe icon in the Help header or Open on the site under an article opens it on docs.slicer.media.
On a phone and on a wide screen
On a phone, help opens full screen; × closes it. On a computer, iPad and Mac it opens as a panel on the right taking almost half of the window, with no dimming: you can read an article and do what it says at the same time. On the web Esc closes it too.
Help opens over sheets: the sheet you opened it from stays in place.
Good to know
- Help is always up to date: it loads from the documentation when you open it. Offline it won't load — tap Retry when you're back online.
- Help is in the language of the Slicer interface.
