* That sounds as if you managed to hide the side bar, try Window > Show Sidebar (that menu item seems to have a bug to be “on” when the side bar is actually not shown btw…)
* If the contents pane of the side bar does not show Qt documentation, check what documentation you have registered in Options > Help > Documentation.
* If you do not have Qt documentation there, check if you have a Qt version registered in Options > Build & Run > Qt Versions. Qt Creator automatically adds documentation from registered Qt versions
* If you have Qt versions registered, but Qt documentation doesn’t show up, check that you have Qt documentation packages installed. Some distributions put documentation and/or examples into separate packages (e.g. qt-doc). Then restart Qt Creator
