Navigating Helium articles

Helium is unique because we have (and want!) multiple articles written to each title. More articles mean more information on a topic and different points of view. More articles also mean more competition for the top spot in a title group, which leads to better articles. In short, the more the merrier! To aid you in your journey through our bounty of articles, here’s a map to Helium article navigation.

The rank icon

The icon below indicates the rank of an article, as rated by Helium members. Next to the rank icon you’ll find arrows that you can use to navigate from one article to the next up and down through the ranks.

Top Article tab

Click on the Top Article tab to view the #1-rated article for the title group.

View All tab

Click on the View All tab to view all the articles in a title group.

Multi-page articles

Longer articles have multiple pages. To navigate from one page of an article to another, use the page icons or the arrows at the bottom of the article. The page you are currently on will be highlighted.
