Abstract:
An IoT apparatus in use by a user, which is communicatively linked to a mobile device used by the user, is identified. A determination can be made as to whether documentation for the IoT apparatus is located on the IoT apparatus or on a mobile device. Responsive to determining that the documentation is located on the IoT apparatus or on the mobile device, a determination can be made as to whether the documentation located on the IoT apparatus or on the mobile device is a latest version of the documentation. Responsive to determining that the documentation located on the IoT apparatus or on the mobile device is not the latest version of the documentation, the latest version of the documentation can be automatically accessed from a resource external to the IoT apparatus and the mobile device. Presentation of the latest version of the documentation on a display can be initiated.
