Reading the docs has always meant context-switching: open a tab, find the page, scroll, switch back, lose your place. We just closed that loop. Daneel's Settings panel now carries its own documentation, attached directly to the section you're working in.

## Help next to settings

Every settings section can now expose a list of related documentation pages as small tabs in its header. Open **Settings → MCP** and you'll see tabs for *MCP Server Setup*, *MCP Tool Calls*, and *Usage in agents*. Click one and a new column slides in beside the panel, rendering the actual documentation page inline. The modal grows to make room. Click the tab again, or the close button, and it tucks back away.

It's the difference between *reading documentation* and *having documentation* — the right page sitting next to the exact setting it explains, one click away. We attached relevant pages to thirteen sections by hand: Home, Models, WebGPU, Ollama, Claude, Azure, Indexes, Knowledge Graph, MCP, Agents, Docker, Data Backup, Privacy, and more. External links (anything outside our docs site) get a globe icon and open in a new tab the old way.

## A real in-app docs browser

The standalone **Settings → Documentation** panel got an upgrade too. It already let you browse the full documentation site without leaving Daneel, but internal links inside those pages used to throw you out to the underlying web page — broken, every time.

We added a quiet click interceptor that resolves relative links against the docs manifest. Click *"see how to connect an MCP server"* inside any guide, and you stay inside the panel — the linked page loads in place. Modifier-clicks (Ctrl, Cmd, middle-click) still open externally for when you want a real tab. There's also a Refresh button now, in case the docs site updated while you weren't looking.

## Why it matters

Documentation only helps if you read it. Putting it inside the settings panel — at the exact moment you're trying to figure something out — removes the only step that was keeping people from reading it. Open Daneel, hit Settings, look for the tabs. Help is already there.
