With the invaluable feedback we’ve received from users and partners alike, we’ve established a new help center to improve Benchling’s customer experience, make documentation more accessible, and prepare for the future. As of October 13, 2022, the new help center has completely replaced the old experience.

Access the help center
You can access the help center from the web by entering https://help.benchling.com into your browser’s address bar.
Tip: If you've accessed the help center before, your browser may automatically add en/ to the end of the URL, which will produce an error. We recommend clearing your browser's cache and updating bookmarks and shared links to prevent them from breaking.
You can also view the help center multiple ways from within your Benchling environment, depending on if you're an academic or industry user.
