+# Helm Chart Management
 
-# Manage Helm Charts in Platform Console
+The **Helm** group in the Cluster UI sidebar lets you view and manage the Helm resources deployed in your cluster. It surfaces two types of FluxCD resources — Releases and HelmCharts — so you can see what is installed, check its status, and create new resources directly from the UI.
 
-Platform Console's Helm Chart Management lets you manage Helm releases within your Kubernetes clusters — installing new charts, modifying existing releases, and rolling back versions from the UI.
+## Open the Helm Section
 
-## Accessing Helm Chart Management
+1. Navigate to the [Platform Console](https://console.appscode.com).
+2. Click on your imported cluster to open its Cluster Overview page.
+3. In the left sidebar, click **Helm** to expand it.

+## Releases
+
+A HelmRelease is a FluxCD resource that describes a deployed Helm chart in the cluster. The Platform Console tracks every HelmRelease and shows its current reconciliation state, so you can instantly see whether an installation or upgrade succeeded or is still in progress.
 
-1. From the [Platform Console](https://console.appscode.com), click on your imported cluster to go to the Cluster Overview page.
-2. In the left sidebar, under **Helm**, select **Releases** to access the Helm Chart Management page.
+Use this page to verify that a chart was installed correctly, check for failed releases, or create a new HelmRelease without using the command line.
 
-## Helm Chart Management Features
+Lists every HelmRelease with its **Namespace**, **Age**, **Ready** status, and a **Status** message showing the last Helm operation result. Click **+ Create HelmRelease** to define a new release from the UI.

-### Install New Charts
+## Helm Charts
 
-1. **Choose Chart Source:** Select a chart source from publicly available URLs or provide a custom URL.
-2. **Select Chart and Version:** Browse and choose the desired chart and version.
-3. **Customize Installation:** Provide a custom release name, namespace, and specify a custom values file during installation.
+A HelmChart is a FluxCD resource that sources a specific chart and version from a HelmRepository. Each HelmRelease references a HelmChart behind the scenes. Viewing this page tells you which charts are being pulled, from where, and whether the source is reachable and up to date.
+
+Use this page to check chart versions in use, verify that chart sources are resolving correctly, or create a new HelmChart resource.
+
+Lists every HelmChart with its **Namespace**, **Annotations**, **Age**, **Chart** name, **Version**, **Source Kind**, **Source Name**, **Ready** state, and **Status**. Click **+ Create HelmChart** to add a new chart source.
