 All help content is stored in a help page component in Dataverse as part of your solution. When you move your solution from one environment to another, such as from test to production, you can define that your help rows are exported so that they are included in the solution. This enables you to keep your help content in sync with features in your solution as it moves to different environments. As a part of your solution, custom help panes support all standard solution application lifecycle management (ALM) features.
