No, that is intended for showcasing features.

I am referring to instructions embedded in the installer itself, and
not to any external help. The installer is an assistant, and as the
Gnome HIGs say, "do not include a Help button in an assistant window.
If you cannot make an operation sufficiently clear in an assistant
without resorting to a Help button, you need to simplify it further."
