# Tutorial 2: Mapping Help Topics in Authoring Mode

## Content



This tutorial shows the second method of assigning Help topics to controls on a form. It is done entirely by Help authors; once a software developer sets up his application to use the [C1DynamicHelp](/componentone/api/win/online-dynamichelp/dotnet-framework-api/C1.Win.C1DynamicHelp.4.8/C1.Win.C1DynamicHelp.C1DynamicHelp.html) **authoring** **mode**, he doesn't need to do anything to map topics to controls! This eliminates the error-prone process of passing the topic/control map back and forth between Help authors and software developers.

The first two steps of this tutorial explain how software developers can set up their applications for **authoring** **mode**. Step 3 explains how Help authors can assign topics to controls in **authoring** **mode**. The final step shows how the Help appears in the application.
