HotWired Help

Welcome to HotWired's Help section. You can reach the Help section at any time by clicking on the help icon (big white question mark). Help icons appear at the bottom of every page of HotWired and on the right side of the main graphic on the top level.

Help topics are listed below, arranged in the order that they first appear in HotWired. You can read help directly from this list, or click the Help button in a specific section and link directly to topics that relate to that section. If a topic refers to more than one section, subsequent references will link back to the original topic.

A keyword search will be available as soon as we build it.
