Regarding the built-in help, that seems to be heavy on help topics generic to
OSX and not specific to LO, so the wiki pages are what I use.  For instance,
searching for "resolution" gets help pages on screen resolution, not grid
resolution.  Searching on "grid" only shows the grid menu in LO, and help
topics about the OSX finder.  I'm not sure what search items give you anything
about the Preferences window.  (I'm using version 5.0.4.2, which is somewhat
dated now).

A much simpler solution is to just have a comment for Mac users, much like
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Options already does it (see my initial
comment).
It's not that hard to make the Help pages accommodate different user systems,
especially since that is one of the goals of the LibreOffice application.

Just tested against my master build on LinuxMint 18, the dialog is identical so
the problem doesn't lie there.

The only difference is then how to reach the LibreOffice options setting under
Mac, which is via LibreOffice > Preferences.

In the built-in help, the problem is not the same, i.e. the help content is
tailored for the path specific to LO on OSX.

Confirming, although I'm not sure how we can accomodate the differences. This
would require a non-static online help content which would alter depending on
the OS recongized by the browser accessing the site.

Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 6468968f5fc9d9bbddb19c160d40731e70560c19
CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Mac OS X 10.11.6; UI Render: default; 
Locale: fr-FR (fr.UTF-8); Calc: group


Under LibreOffice > Preferences > Draw > Grid

Snap to Grid : checkbox
Visible Grid : checkbox

There are no entries for these in the corresponding help text. I don't know
whether that is specific to the Mac version or not.

Other than that, everything else described on that help page appears in the
dialog.

Can you give specific examples of what's Windows-specific on that page?
e.g. is it the "Tools - Options - LibreOffice Impress/LibreOffice Draw - Grid"
?

(it's easiest for triage if we have a set of 'repro steps' that we can walk
through one by one. thanks!)

Status -> NEEDINFO
