Context-sensitive help for rolling releases?

Subject: Context-sensitive help for rolling releases?

The company I work for rolls out releases to our software frequently (it's a
web-based app). I'd like to add context-sensitive and/or embedded help, but
the software changes often, and the number of topics is continually growing.
I'm concerned that the context IDs would be out of sync from
release-to-release; is this a valid concern?



I've never created context-sensitive help, but I have an understanding of
the concepts and process. I'm working in Frame 7.2 and Flare 6.



Thanks,

-=Ed.
