Greetings,

I understand that you're installing the documentation on an offline computer using the --destination flag. You must point MATLAB to the documentation and you can do so by following the below steps:

1. Open the "startup.m" file that is present in the directory pointed to by userpath environment variable.

edit(fullfile(userpath,'startup.m'))

Note: If you haven't created this file before, you will receive a popup asking if you want to create the file first. Select 'Yes' on the popup to create the file and start editing it.

2. In your startup.m file, add this line to set the documentation root to the new documentation location, where newDocInstallFolder is the path to the folder where you installed the documentation:

docroot(newDocInstallFolder/help)

3.Restart MATLAB to complete documentation installation.

You may refer to the following documentation links for more information:

• Install Documentation on Offline Machines - MATLAB & Simulink (mathworks.com)
• User-defined startup script for MATLAB - MATLAB startup (mathworks.com)

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Suraj.
