 In the case of an explorer created by a resource directory, the path in the properties file is ''/ui/panels/objects/<Name-of-the-dir>''.
+===== Adding a new help button to a panel =====
+In order to add a help button to the upper right corner of a panel without a menu, the easiest way is to link the default menu which already includes a help button. This can be done by adding '' <link source="/ui/explorer/menu"/>'' as a child of any PanelFactory (<panel>).
+If a menu already exists,  the following lines can be added as the last entry of the src directory.
+<code>
+  <separator fill="true" />
+  <link source="/ui/doc/helpButton"/>
+</code>
+If the help is not suppose to be added as a button but as a regular menu item, ''<link source="/ui/doc/help"/>'' can be added similar to any other factory or command.
