Use contextual help

Regardless of where you are in the Flare application, you can get contextual help by doing the following:

1. First, close the Help widget if it is open.
2. Navigate to a section of the application. In the example below, we've clicked Sales > Estimates in Flare's main menu (1 below).
   
   
   
   
3. Click the Help icon in Flare's top menu (2 below).
   
   
4. A list of top suggestions will be displayed. Click the relevant article (3 below) to view it in the Help widget. Most of the time, suggestions will be relevant to the area of Flare you are currently in. In this example, we are in Flare's Estimates module and contextual help displays articles related to estimates.
   
   

Submit a support request from the Help widget

If you can't find what you are looking for and need some help, you can submit a support request to the Flare Help and Support team directly from the Help widget.

To submit a support request, do the following:

1. Click the Help icon in Flare's top menu to open the Help widget.
   
   
2. Click "Leave us a message" (2 below).
   
   
   
   
3. Enter your name and email address (preferably the email address you use to log in to your Flare account), tell us how we can help you, and click Send.
   We try to respond within 48 hours of receiving the request.
