This would add a third column for the help bar, just include the method on the help_bar callback function.
```
function wpdocs_add_help_tab() {
	$screen = get_current_screen();

	$screen->add_help_tab(
		array(
			'id'      => 'hello_dolly',
			'title'   => __( 'Hello Dolly' ),
			'content' => '' . __( 'Well, hello, Dolly' ) . '',
		)
	);
