I really enjoyed the Lightning event last week here in Seattle! One question I forgot to ask - will custom contextual help ever be supported in Lightning? It sounds like the help feature in Lightning will be much more contextualized, but does not allow for custom content (https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=lex_find_help.htm&language=ja_1&type=0). Is there a timeline to make this possible, or are there any third party apps that can provide this functionality and are Lightning-ready? Thanks!
@Meera Nilekani Following up on your original question. The ability to add a global custom help section to the Lightning Experience Help Menu was added in Spring '19, along with a refreshed Help Menu interface and more admin control for displaying Salesforce Help.
Here's the RN with links to more documentation.
