# Where is the Storage Studio user manual?

The full manual is built into the app. Click **Help** (in the Advanced view's popover footer, or press **⌘?** there) to open the Help window: a table of contents on the left and the manual on the right, with selectable text.

Because it's bundled inside the app, the Help window works offline and always matches the version you have installed.

The same guides are on the web at [the online manual](https://storagestudio.us/manual), split into sections such as [Install & first launch](https://storagestudio.us/manual/install) and [Troubleshooting](https://storagestudio.us/manual/troubleshooting).
