- Online Help is produced by CDC from electronic versions of manuals from the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries (NAACCR), the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program, the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons, and the World Health Organization.

- Online Help is updated annually with the latest published version of the included manuals, plus published errata or additions.
- An "About" topic included with each manual cites the versions of files and updates that are included in the Online Help edition.
Future Plans
The Registry Plus Online Help Development Priority List is a list of development tasks prioritized by the NPCR Registry Plus development team. Each task is the direct result of meetings with the Registry Plus User Group (RPUG) as well as requests from individual cancer registries and leaders in the cancer registry field. For more information on Registry Plus or RPUG please contact cancerinfo@cdc.gov.
