Documentation as window next to the folder window

Hello community, how can i open doc. as a separe window inside matlab, so it wont open as window in browser or a small pop-up

I note that you are using R2017a. What you are asking for just might be possible in your release.

What you are asking for is not possible in R2024b and later, which uses a different implementation of the help browser.

Sorry for not writing that down, i have in my PC installed R2024b, but i took this screen shot of someones youtube video and saw that person had the documentation inside the matlab, is it possible for R2024b ?

Hi @Martin,

With the introduction of web-based documentation in MATLAB, all documentation links now open in the system browser by default. However, local HTML pages can still be opened in the MATLAB Web Browser, which is dockable. To achieve this, download or save the desired documentation page as an HTML file and double-click it in the MATLAB File Tree. This action will open the page in the MATLAB Web Browser, where a docking option is available in the top right corner.

For additional details, refer to the following MATLAB documentation on web browsers and MATLAB:

While this method may not be the cleanest solution, it serves as a viable workaround.
