Question: Why is Offline documentation and the Help Viewer in Visual Studio 2017 still horribly broken? I keep it around for when I don’t have internet access but it’s next to useless. Why keep up the pretence? (In comparison, the CHM and DocEx from VS6 through VS2008 work perfectly and are very reliable)

What particular aspect of it is broken? Genuinely asking the question, because I want to make sure we address major issues in the customer experience that you have.

Massive amounts of duplicated content. Broken images and stylesheets. I’ve downloaded all content but pressing F1 on a symbol in VS informs me the content is only available online.
