Documentation Location - Specifying the help Directory

Use the Documentation location preference to specify where the MATLAB help directory resides for your system. The help directory contains the online help files used by the Help browser.

• If you elected to install the help files when you installed MATLAB, the documentation location should already be set to point to the help files. If the help files location changes or you want to access different help files, change the Documentation location for Local or network directory. Use the ... button to browse your file system to select the new location.
• If you did not install the help files during MATLAB installation, the Help browser attempts to find the files on the documentation CD. You need to specify the Documentation location for CD-ROM drive. Use the ... button to browse your file system to select the drive's location.

For UNIX platforms that do not support Java GUIs, use the docopt function to specify the location of your help directory.
