Please add "Tool Help" to Service Editor Window in ArcMap when publishing a service

Please consider adding a "Tool Help" dialog on the right hand side to the Service Editor window in ArcMap (see red box in screenshot below) just like with any tool in Toolbox (see bottom screenshot). I know that the Service Editor is not technically a "tool" but a description of what all of the options mean would be VERY helpful and save time instead of having to search the online documentation or go through trial and error to determine what parameters or capabilities you need to apply. Thank you.

Hi @VICKIHYNES,

ArcGIS Desktop is deprecated and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Keep Innovating with GIS for more information.

Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas. We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
