Can I update 1C form metadata to link generated help files automatically?▼

Yes, the help generation process optionally updates 1C form metadata automatically. This ensures the generated Help.xml and HTML pages are properly associated with their respective forms for in-app access.

What is the best way to provide in-app documentation for 1C objects without external files?▼
