Hi all, For the 5.4.0 we have to go with the assumption that the current Implementation of the UI, self-explain enough. With that assumption, we can go ahead and can remove the help links. WDYT?
Making UI self-explain better can be achieved in the 5.5.0 release since there is a plan to re-write the UI. For that, I suggest implementing something like UI guide (something similar to what APIM has done, IMO it is pretty effective) when a user starts a fresh pack. Regards, Thilina.
