Install a Local Copy of vSphere Web Client Help
If you do not have internet access from the system you use to access the vSphere Web Client, you can
download and deploy a local copy of the online Help.
By default, vSphere Web Client accesses online Help on the Web. This allows the client to access the most
up-to-date version of the Help content.
If you download and deploy Help locally, the local copy is not updated when new Help is published to the
Web. If you deploy local Help, check the download location periodically for updates.
