Thank you for the report! I've confirmed that this issue is occurring

Seems like this link is read from an environment variable specific to the Course Authoring MFE that wasn’t set correctly during deployment? For a moment I thought the URL might be hardcoded, but I couldn’t find it anywhere in the code, and it also doesn’t seem to be returned by the MFE config API

@mariajgrimaldi, do you know who we could tag to help confirm this?

Thanks for tagging me!

@magajh: those help URLs come from this API /api/contentstore/v1/help_urls. From what I could find, the API generates the links depending on what's in this file and the release branch.

The help links don't work because the release is not available yet. You can find more details on this issue here: #163

Please, feel free to close this since links will work once the release is out.
