How to hide the Help section

The Help section of the BILLmanager platform contains the following subsections:

• under an administrator account:
  
  • Help — link to the start page of BILLmanager 6 documentation;
  • Feature request — a link to the Customer feedback resource, where authorized users can leave feedback on the product or a request for improvement;
  • Change log — a list of released updates to the product;
  • About program — license information.
• under a client account — subsection Help. Link to the client area page in BILLmanager 6 documentation.
