Using Adobe Online

Adobe Online is constantly changing, so you should refresh before you use it. Refreshing through Adobe Online updates bookmarks and buttons so you can quickly access the most current content available. You can use preferences to automatically refresh Adobe Online.

When you set up an Internet connection to Adobe Online, Adobe can either notify you whenever new information is available through the Updates feature or automatically download that information to your hard disk. If you choose not to use the automatic download feature, you can still view and download new files whenever they are available using the Updates command in the Help menu.

To use Adobe Online:

1. In Photoshop or ImageReady, choose Help > Adobe Online, or click the icon at the top of the toolbox.
