Help/Software Updates
The Software updates and Add-ons dialog is opened
Press the (?) button in the bottom left to get context help

Expected result: Context help is provided that relates to this dialog.
Actual result: The context help provided is generic indicating that no context help has been defined for this dialog.

A similar problem occurs in the child dialogs which are shown after pressing any of these buttons: Check for updates... revert configuration... Manage Sites.., Add Site...

Moving doc work to RC3.

Kevin, do you have time to help on this?  Apparently the help hooks need to be in for RC3 even if the help isn't written.  Could you look over the p2 dialogs and make a determination as to whether we need help and add a hook for now?

If you don't have time can you see if someone in platform UI does?

Just checked the 3.3 SDK and what UM has.
I saw some buggy behavior in the "Find and Install" wizard related to the help tray button, but it appears there is help for the main page and the site checkbox page.  There is also help for the "Manage Configurations" dialog but not any of the sub-task dialogs.

I would say that a good equivalent goal for p2 is help for the installed software page and the available software page, so having hooks in the UpdateAndInstallDialog for those pages would be good.

marking duplicate, Kevin put the hooks in the other bug
