Check Which Programs Have Help
To determine which of your programs files have help text, you can use the Help Report.
In the Help Report, you specify a set of help components for which you want to search,
such as examples or See Also lines. For each file searched,
MATLAB® displays the help text for the components it finds. Otherwise, MATLAB displays a highlighted message to indicate that the component is
missing.
To generate a Help Report, in the Current Folder browser, navigate to the folder you
want to check, click 
, and then select Reports > Help Report. The Help Report displays in the MATLAB web browser.
Note
You cannot run reports when the path is a UNC (Universal Naming
Convention) path; that is, a path that starts with \\.
Instead, use an actual hard drive on your system, or a mapped network
drive.
This table describes the available options for Help Reports.
| Help Report Option | Description |
|---|---|
Show class methods | Include methods in the report. If you do not select this option, then the report includes results for classes, but not for methods within a class definition file. |
Show all help | Display all help text found in each file. If you also select individual help components, such as Description, then help text appears twice in the report for each file: once for the overall help text, and once for the component. If your program has the same name as
other programs on the MATLAB search path, then the |
Description | Check for an initial, nonempty comment line in the file. This line is sometimes called the H1 line. |
Examples | Check for examples in the help text. The Help Report performs a
case-insensitive search for a help line with a single-word variant

The recommended practice is to include a range of years from the year you created the file to the current year. |
