AI 29.1 - Missing New Help Bar
The 29.1 update is supposed to have a new Menu Bar under Window->Help Bar but it's not there.
Using macOS Sonoma 15.1.1

Help Bar is available only in the latest Beta (starting with 29.2) and Prerelease builds so far. As soon as the team decides it’s ready to be pushed into main build, you’ll be able to get it. At the moment you can install Beta build from CCD app, or just wait.

The team informs it will be eventually rolled out to everyone in phased manner.
At the moment this is shown to new/first time install users — for now. -

Leigh is very correct. I just wasted time trying to hunt down this new 29.1 feature. Glad I found this.

Great, thanks!
It might be a good idea to remove this feature from the What's New for 29.1
