Wherever I am in Multiterm, clicking a Help button or hitting F1 tries to take me to a non-existent URL.
E.g., if I'm in the Edit screen, hitting F1 takes me to https://docs.rws.com/796827/796853/, which in turn brings up a 404 Not found message.
Are others having this problem, or it just me?
Multiterm 2021 SR2 16.2.1.1044
Windows 10
Hi Steve,
EDIT: sorry, Steve, I should have tested this out first. It DOES happen in my (the latest) version of MultiTerm!
I imagine it is happening because of the recent changes in address when the SDL sites were being updated to RWS who now own SDL... Paul would this be the case?
Steve, until the Help shortcut is updated correctly, the MultiTerm 2021 Help site is here: RWS Documentation MultiTerm21 (you can change the version year in the dropdown menu).
All the best,
Ali 
I rather assumed you'd tested this before making your suggestion. I've just spent the last hour downloading and installing the latest version of Studio (MT was already up to date) and running Windows repair.
Obviously, if SDL (or RWS or Trados, or whatever they're calling themselves this week) have moved their help pages without without bothering to update the software that uses those pages, and without bothering to set up a redirect from the old to the new URLs, then the help isn't going to work.
This is another reason why the help files need to be local rather than online. The other reason is that not everyone is always online -- I sometimes work at locations with no WiFi or even mobile phone coverage, which means any online resource becomes useless.
A couple of points for Paul to pass on to whoever is failing to get this right.

Hi Steve,
I'm sorry I misinformed you. However, it wasn't a waste of time because if you had the latest version of MultiTerm already, then you needed to update Studio the the latest version also, and a Windows Repair is always a good thing after updating any software.
I'm sure Paul or someone else at RWS, such as Lydia Simplicio, will pass on the point you've made about the links to context-sensitive help in MultiTerm failing as well as those in your second post.
All the best,
Ali
