Documentation Hosting FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the documentation hosting.
Do I need a separate site for hosting online documentation?
No. ClickHelp is a SaaS solution and it provides users with ready hosting. You don't need to create a separate site additionally, all you need is the ClickHelp portal itself.
Can I host my documentation on my own server?
Yes, you can do this. Export your online documentation in the Web Help format. The resulting archive will be a set of static HTML files with styles and other resources - you can host this content on any web server, it will not need any connection to your documentation portal. It's a good choice for delivering web-based documentation that works in an isolated network. To learn more, read Create a Web Help Manual.
Can I install ClickHelp On-Premises on my own server?
