# help

Links to help for the current page. On a visible link, it can instead provide help for the link's surrounding context.

## Code examples

Good example

```
<link rel="help" href="/docs/account-settings">
```

Points to help for the page as a whole.

Avoid this example

```
<link rel="help">
```

Has no href, so it does not create a help link.

## Recommendations

- 01 Make the target specific Send readers to the manual, support article, or instructions for this page rather than a generic homepage.
- 02 Keep help usable Give the help page clear headings, labelled controls, keyboard access, and a working route back to the task.
