# NEW SIMnet Help System

SIMnet has released an upgraded Help System for both instructors and students. The new help system has more in-depth articles that cover both the How and the Why of using SIMnet features.

In the Instructor help, view the [Best Practices](https://help.simnetonline.com/manager/getting-started/best-practices) section before you set up your course for next semester, or read the topic on the ins and outs of [Integrity Violations](https://help.simnetonline.com/manager/getting-started/integrity-violations) before you set your Project Assignment preferences.

In the Student Help, share with your students the nuances of using [SIMnet outside of Windows](https://help.simnetonline.com/students/getting-started/using-simnet-outside-of-windows) and the [Common Mistakes](https://help.simnetonline.com/students/assignments/projects/common-errors) that students run into when doing Project Assignments.
