How to navigate the Support Centre

Searching the Support Centre
Here are some tips for searching the Support Centre:
- Think of the key word or phrase that is linked to what you want to know. For example, if you want to know how to set up an offer, search ‘Offers’ or ‘How to set up an Offer’. The more specific you can be the better.

In this guide section
Within each article, information is organised into headings. The headings are listed in an In this guide section in a panel on the right hand side of the article. Using the in this guide section means you can quickly navigate to the section of the article which contains the information you are looking for.
TIP: You can also copy the link to a heading by right clicking on it and selecting ‘copy hyperlink’. Doing this means you can share a link to a specific section of the article with someone else on your team.

To search within an article, you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL + F (or Command/⌘ + F on a Mac) and enter a keyword. This will search the content of the article for exact matches of the query you enter and you can then scroll through each of the matches. We recommend using this method if you’re looking at a longer article or looking for something specific.
