With the new Google App Script (new spreadsheet) when I create a menu for my Add-Ons using createAddonMenu() you will notice that Google add automatically a separator and a Help menu at the end. But I found nowhere documentation that tells what is the name of the function associated with the Help.

Would anybody know?

function onOpen(e) {
  SpreadsheetApp.getUi().createAddonMenu()
  .addItem('Test A', 'insertChart')
  .addItem('Test B', 'updateCharts')
  .addItem('Test C', 'updateCharts')
  .addToUi();
}

Help Menu

After further investigations the only reference I found of Add-Ons Help is during the publishing process: "In the Deploy as Add-on dialog that appears, enter your add-on's name, description, URL for a help page, and post-install tip.". It would seems the Help menu is populated from an URL provided during the publishing process. - VanacK
VanacK is right. This option isn't available. - contributorpw

I'm tired of seeing this question as unanswered!

The publishing process asks for a URL to which Help will point. You also get an opportunity to set things like a description whilst providing screen shots, promotional tiles and an icon.
