How do I get started with Emacs documentation?

Question

I want to check out Emacs self-documenting help systems so I can figure it out myself.

Example. I want to learn how to use the org-mode property :VISIBILITY:so that I can make certain subtrees always open in the expanded state.

I made an assumption regarding the syntax ...

:VISIBILITY: CHILDREN

... but it did not work.

Therefore, I want to use the help system to understand this.

So, I am doing this:

M-x apropos

Character (word list or regular expression): org visibility

There is no help.

C-h vDescribe the variable org visibilityorg-inhibit-startup-visibility-stuff

There is no help.

C-h a visibility

org-set-visibility-accord-to-property is the interactive Lisp function in `org.el '.

(org-set-visibility-matching-to-property & optional NO-CLEANUP)

: VISIBILITY: .

C-h a visibility

org-toggle-custom-properties-visibility - Lisp `org.el '.

(- -)

... , org-mode :VISIBILITY:.
