Help Page could be more helpful
Problem:
The current Help page contains a lot of information but is not very helpful. The page is formatted as one long list, making it difficult to quickly find the problem/solution you are looking for. It also lacks polish, appearing more like a README doc than the help section for a product. There is also missed opportunities here to call out and explore features and actions users may not yet be aware of.
Solution:
Reformat the help page to have a clear hierarchy of information. Make it easy for users to find quick answers to a specific problem while allowing the opportunity to explore features and links to other resources.
