Define Object-Level Help in Salesforce Classic

Object-level help overrides the Help for this Page links for a custom object or external object with your own help content contained in a Visualforce page. To make object-level help available to all your users, create a Visualforce page that contains your help content. Then edit the custom or external object definition to reference the page. Object-level help becomes available to all your users instantly.

Required Editions

Available in: Salesforce Classic

Custom objects are available in: Contact Manager, Group, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions

Salesforce Connect external objects are available in Developer Edition and, for an extra cost, in Enterprise, Performance, and Unlimited Editions.
