As a Dynamics NAV partner, you have access to resources that can help you support your Dynamics NAV customers, and you have access to resources that can help you be more productive as a partner.

This page outlines the resources available to you.

Product Help

The functionality in the default version of Dynamics NAV is described on the Docs.microsoft.com site as described in the following table.

Name	Location	Description
Business functionality docs	Microsoft Dynamics NAV documentation	Use this library to learn about business functionality.
Development and administration docs	Developer and IT-Pro Help for Microsoft Dynamics NAV	Use this content to learn how to extend, customize, and administrate Dynamics NAV.

Customize and extend the user assistance

Users have access to tooltips that can help them get unblocked, and context-sensitive links to learn more according to the Dynamics NAV user assistance model. If you customize or extend Dynamics NAV, you are expected to also customize the user assistance so that users will have access to content that can help them get started, get unblocked, and learn more. For more information, see User Assistance Model for Dynamics 365 Business Central.

Product versions and Help versions

In general, the Dynamics NAV content on the Docs.microsoft.com site reflects the latest version of Dynamics NAV online with limited support for earlier versions.

If you support Dynamics NAV customers, your solution might be older than the latest version. This means that the content in the business functionality docs might describe functionality that your users do not have access to. For a better experience, you can deploy a website based on Help Server and, optionally, add content from the Dynamics NAV or Dynamics 365 Business Central GitHub repos in addition to any content that you have otherwise contributed. For more information, see Working with Dynamics NAV Help Server.
