\label{Help}
\index{help}\index{help icon}On many LON-CAPA pages, you will see one or more small blue circles 
(each with a white question mark inside) \includegraphics[width=0.025\paperwidth]{help}. 
These blue circles are links to relevant help documentation.  
Each LON-CAPA help page also includes a search box, in which you
can enter keyword(s) to search all LON-CAPA help documents.

Also, a \textbf{Help} link is available in the upper right. This help page
provides links to the course manual (from within a course) or the author manual
(from the authoring space) and provides both an online version and pdf version.
You may wish to save a pdf version of each so that you can reference the help for one
role while working in the other role. The help page also provides a link to 
request help from the LON-CAPA help desk and a link to report bugs (Course Coordinators
and Authors only).  In some cases you may also see a green square containing a white question mark
alongside the text: ``FAQ''.  This provides a link to relevant help item in the
user-contributed documentation found in the LON-CAPA FAQ-o-matic system.
