Support for local help

Cakewalk provides optional local help. To enable local help, go to Edit > Preferences > File - Advanced and select Always Use Local Help.

When you enable local help for the first time, Cakewalk presents a toast notification to download and install the local help, and whenever updated local help is available.

If your computer is not connected to the internet, Cakewalk will default to showing local help until an internet connection becomes available.

Note: Local help is only available in English.

Tip: If you would like to use local help on a computer that is never connected to the internet, first download the local help from another computer that is connected to the internet, then copy the CakewalkHelp_Documentation_1.0.0.n.exe installer (found in \Downloads\Cakewalk) to removable media that you can transfer to your offline Cakewalk computer.

Alternatively, copy the installed Cakewalk.chm file from the Cakewalk root folder (default is \Program Files\Cakewalk\Cakewalk Core).
