The home panel is a great spot for adding a help link. You can add any HTML markup you want.

We created an internal user site for our organization. Since internal customers will be accessing the site quite a bit, we thought it would be best to remove the home panel so that users wouldn't have to close the home panel every time the site is opened.

I think my only other option is to display a hyperlink using a workflow and creating a custom tool. Unless there is another option?

You could add the link to the 'I want to...' menu or add a button to the toolbar.

In our organization, we repurposed the Tems of Use from the Code Gallery to show a help guide/document instead of a terms of use, so there is always a 'Help Guide' button on the map and not hidden in a menu/toolbar.

We also removed the "I want to..." menu because it appeared unnecessary, at least until we expand the funtionality of our site. This sounds like a good use for it. I'll check that out. Thanks.

Another option would be to actually use the Home page as your help. That is what I did for the site below. On the tool bar, I renamed the Home button as Help. My help is pretty simple (since the site is simple), but you could easily create a table of contents with links to an outside help document. I do not have the Home/Help page open by default, so it stays out of the way for experienced users.

You can also add a footer to the Desktop.json.js and put it in there.
