It means that if someone asks me a question already answered in the Help, I can respond with a URL. + +That it also makes the downloadable .zip file smaller is nice, but not a major consideration. + +## Add Evergreen News Feed + +The Evergreen news feed is a default news feed. It’s entirely possible that a person will delete it, though, and then later want to get it back. That’s what this command is for. + +## Other Help menu items + +Evergreen is free and open source, and I don’t have time to provide support *and* work on the app itself. So there is no email-support menu item. + +However, there are links to the website, GitHub repository, and GitHub bug tracker. Anybody with a GitHub account can report bugs and make feature requests. + +
