Hosting updates for AIR Help
After you publish your initial Adobe AIR application, you can correct and revise the content as needed. By default,
when a user launches the Help application, it displays the online content, so the displayed Help contains your updates.
When you generate a new version of an Adobe AIR application, a Help content configuration file is created along with
the output. This XML file is unique for each version of the Help application. It contains information about the location
of the published Help application, the Help ID, and the version number. Place this XML file with the Help application
installer on the specified shared server location for users. When a user's installed version checks for updates from this
location, the Help application is updated.
