   • Topic contents
   • Topic titles
   • Keywords
   • Variable values
   • Templates

   Once you need to update your image - edit it in the library and it will change in all topics that refer to it.
   Also image library allows you to add annotations to images with simple shapes - boxes, circles, lines, arrows and text.
   
7. Text snippets allow you to create blocks of reusable text that can be referenced in topics.
   Text snippets are like library images. You can define and edit them in the library and use in multiple topics.

11. User defined variables.
    For example, you can use a variable named "VERSION" and place it where you want your program version number to appear. Helpinator replaces it with version number at compile time.
