# Help Menu
_Brent Simmons, 27 May 2017_
## Help Book
I considered doing a Help book that ships in the app bundle, which is the traditional and Apple-endorsed way to go.
But instead the Help book will go on the web, at `http://ranchero.com/evergreen/help/[version_number]`.
This gives me the ability to update the Help book whenever it needs it — to answer a frequently-asked question, for instance. It means that if someone asks me a question already answered in the Help, I can respond with a URL.
That it also makes the downloadable .zip file smaller is nice, but not a major consideration.
## Add Evergreen News Feed
The Evergreen news feed is a default news feed. Its entirely possible that a person will delete it, though, and then later want to get it back. Thats what this command is for.
## Other Help menu items
Evergreen is free and open source, and I dont have time to provide support *and* work on the app itself. So there is no email-support menu item.
However, there are links to the website, GitHub repository, and GitHub bug tracker. Anybody with a GitHub account can report bugs and make feature requests.
