 While checking the posts of the HelpHub documentation called via the tab
 Help in the various screens of the dashboard, I saw several things to
 improve.

 1.In the Plugins Editor Screen, the documentation on the editor of plugin
 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/plugins-editor-screen/] is well put
 in reference in tab Help, on the other hand it is not the case in the
 **Apparence Editor Screen** for the editor of theme
 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/appearance-editor-screen/] which
 refers towards the documentation Edit files
 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/editing-files/].

 2.Help tabs are missing in several screens although a documentation post
 exists for these screens in HelpHub, we could add a Help tab and place
 there the link to the corresponding documentation, and a brief description
 of the screen's functionality as for the other screens in Overview. The
 help tabs and links to add are:

 a.In the **Privacy Settings Screen** - the documentation Settings Privacy
 Screen [https://wordpress.org/support/article/settings-privacy-screen/]

 b.In the **Site Health Screen** - the documentation Site Health Screen
 [https://wordpress.org/support/article/site-health-screen/]

 c.In the **Apparence Customize Screen** - the documentation Appearance
 Customize Screen [https://wordpress.org/support/article/appearance-
 customize-screen/]

 I propose to add the help tabs in the different screens and/or then place
 the links to the different documentations in them, as well as a small
 overview text for the new help tabs.
