About online help

We've designed this Help system to be as intuitive as possible, but we realize you might have some questions about how to find all the information you need. Here are some of your most frequently asked questions. Just click to see the answer.

You have two options.

Use the Search feature

To search all occurrences of a term in the Help, use the Search field at the top of the page.

TIP  If you are searching for a phrase (for example: "managing clients"), surround the phrase with quotation marks. Otherwise, all topics that contain either word will be included in the results.

Search by area

The left navigation menu is organized to reflect your business processes. Click a menu option to expand it and make a selection.

Click the Expand icon to the left of a heading to expand the text.

Click the Collapse icon to the left of a heading to collapse the text.

To expand or collapse all the text in a topic, toggle the Expand All icon or the Collapse All icon in the upper-right corner of the page.

To send a Help topic to someone, right-click the URL in your browser and select Copy.

You can launch all interactive help content to which you have access by clicking the (help) icon in the upper-right corner of every application page from within Datto SaaS Defense. Doing so will invoke the Show me how... menu, from which you can search for help topics, launch walk-throughs, or browse highlighted guides.
