As per the title. I seem to remember there was a way of accessing this previously, but I can't find it in the new program, and it goes to online help automatically.
 
I don't object to help being online, it's just that the UI for it on the website is nowhere near as good or useable as the standard Windows help system.

The offline help has been deprecated. We are investigating different solutions for the online help, so stay tuned.

Thanks. I can see why it's sensible to streamline the documentation-making processes, so I'm all for that. But yeah, would be nice to see something a bit more elegant and usable.

Offline Activation would sure be nice...

can't think of any reason for this? properly maintained documentation can be output to multiple types - online, offline, pdf, whatever - from a single source

Wow, Morton Saether, I haven't seen your name for ages.  Maybe I haven't been in the forum enough, but did you just rejoin the team or have I been out to lunch too long?

So why dump something that still covers most of CbB before a replacement is ready?

ignoring proper documentation is a standard short-cut in commercial software unfortunately

bandlab certainly have the funding to do this stuff right, but do they have the governance/vision/will?
