Help Task Pane

The PDMPublisher task pane is a documentation browser. Commands and settings have moved to the SOLIDWORKS PDMPublisher CommandManager tab and Tools > PDMPublisher menu.

The pane opens the compact PDMPublisher for SOLIDWORKS welcome page. Select a documentation link to navigate within the pane. Links that request a new window open in the default web browser.

Requirements

The embedded page uses Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime. Current supported Windows installations normally already have the Evergreen Runtime.

If the pane reports that help could not be loaded:

  1. Confirm that the computer can open https://pdmpublisher.com/help/addinwelcome.html in a browser.
  2. Select the message in the pane to retry.
  3. Install or repair Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime if the message says the runtime is unavailable.
  4. Restart SOLIDWORKS.

Publishing and utility commands remain available if the help page or WebView2 cannot load.

Note

The embedded welcome page is intentionally excluded from search-engine indexing. The linked documentation pages remain searchable.
