Help Panel

Anytime you see a button with text that starts with a and ends with a you can access a help panel similar to this one.

The purpose is to provide assistance with the functionality displayed on-screen. That, typically, will be a FREE Worx tool. They are all listed in the menu panels.

Once you display the help panel, there are two main sections shown as TABS at the top of the help panel. They should display “Purpose” and “How-To”. Purpose is like this view, How-To is a step by step instruction for the particular tool you are using.

PRIVACY: We’d like to make a major point here.This website does not capture any personal information about you. We do track location by IP address and Remote Host for security purposes.

Any information you provide to use with the tools is NOT captured. We do not save or store any images, any text, email addresses, or any other data you provide to use the tools. And, the result of the tool is also not captured, saved, or shared with anyone.

This is the “How-To” section. This is where you would find step-by-step instructions for the particular tool you are using.

In this case, the “How-To” is how to use this panel.

  • Launch by clicking

    (this one is just an example, does nothing)
    Once launched, the button text will change to ‘Hide Help’
  • To close, you can click the ‘Hide Help’ button in the main part of the website, or you can click the close button at the top right of Help Panel.
