How often in the midst of using a software platform do you run into a challenge that draws you up short?
You might encounter a word or term you don’t understand, and until you know what it means you are not comfortable moving forward. You might come up against a concept that makes no sense to you. You might want to take an action but either you don’t remember how to do it or you never learned what to do in the first place.
For me, those moments seem to happen all too often at the least convenient moment. I might run into a problem at two a.m. and for six more hours there’s no one I can call for help. I might be facing a tight deadline and the last thing I want to do is what a read a ten-page article, watch a twenty-minute video, or go through a two-hour certification course. I need the answer now.
For those moments – and for any time you want to learn more about our platform and products – we have created and regularly update help sections our website. The sections are open; anyone can go to them. They are available whenever you need them – at noon, at midnight, at any point in between. They are designed to give you ready access to everything from quick answers to detailed explanations.
Getting There
Getting to Reveal’s help sections is simple. You can get to help from the Reveal website, as well as from any Reveal product.
Navigating to Reveal's User Documentation
If you are on the Reveal website, revealdata.com, you can easily navigate to Reveal’s User Documentation section which gives you access to Reveal Knowledgebases as well as additional resources. From the menu at the top of any page on the website select Support and then from the dropdown menu select Documentation.
Navigating to Reveal Knowledgebases
If you are in a Reveal product, you also have easy access to the product’s Reveal Knowledgebase. If you are in Reveal 11, for example, go to the top right corner of the application select the help icon (a question mark in a circle), and a new window will open with the Reveal 11 Knowledgebase.
Reveal’s User Documentation
Reveal’s User Documentation page serves as a hub for our Knowledgebases and Additional Resources.
Each Reveal Knowledgebase starts with a search bar that lets you perform simple searches of the Knowledgebase’s content. Knowledgebases also have links to product-specific articles, user guides, admin guides, release notes, and additional reference materials.
From the Additional Resources portion of the page, you can navigation to our Additional Resources page. That page contains links to Getting Started Guides, Quick Reference Cards, and Feature Tutorials.
The Additional Resources portion of the User Documentation page also can take you to Reveal’s Training and Certification page, where you can learn more about Reveal’s on-demand, self-paced product training platform, Brainwave, and our membership program, Reveal Academy, as well access online training.

Reveal 10, Processing, and Brainspace Knowledgebases
The Reveal 10, Processing, and Brainspace Knowledgebases have a different structure from the Reveal 11 Knowledgebase.
Each of these Knowledgebases contains links to four sets of materials: User Guides, Admin Guides, Release Notes, and Reference materials.
Reveal 10 Knowledgebase
The Reveal 10 Knowledgebase has two main sections, Reveal Review and Reveal AI, each with user guide, admin guide, release notes, and reference links. Below each section are links to featured content from that section.
From here you can go, for example, to the Reveal 10 User Guide. Once there, you can perform a search, scroll the navigational menu on the left, or click on a section to read its content.
Processing and Brainspace Knowledgebases
The Reveal Processing Knowledgebase and the Brainspace Knowledgebase each have four main sections – User Guide, Admin Guide, Release Notes, and Reference – and below those, links to featured content.
In the Reveal Processing Knowledgebase, you might opt to click on a link to one of the sets of Reference materials.
Here, I clicked in the Australian Number Protocol link, which took me to the corresponding page.
From the Brainspace Knowledgebase, you might choose to navigate to a User Guide.
Here, I went to the Concept Search User Guide.
