Obsolete Guides are a pain

1

Guides not being updated, replaced or flagged obsolete is a PITA.

Are they community driven, or vendor?

@Syed_Salman_Ali The guides you mention are out of date.

e,g, If you use Desktop Edition, your data is stored in the default application data folder. The location varies by operating system, but you can move it by clicking the **Change Folder**button. This allows you to store your data in cloud-synced folders like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, or iCloud for automatic backup.

I am curious who looks after this. If it is community then maybe one can offer to assist. If it is vendor, then all one can do is complain ..

You’re right to flag this. Parts of the new Guides have lagged behind some recent UI changes, especially around where “Change Folder / Change Data Folder” lives in the Desktop Edition.

What’s current today

  • The official “Change Folder” guide still explains the Desktop Edition’s application data folder and shows the control on the Businesses screen (bottom‑left), plus the cloud‑sync recommendation. That content is still live on the Guides site

  • However, after the Desktop Edition moved to the Electron platform, some builds relocated this control to the main menu: File > Change Data Folder. That shift is discussed on the forum and has caused confusion when the guide and app don’t match exactly.

  • There are also forum reports noting occasional broken/missing links and that the newer guides can be lighter on detail than the old www2 site.

Who looks after the Guides

  • The Guides are the vendor’s official documentation (hosted on manager.io). They’re curated/maintained by the developer team, with input from moderators and community feedback routed through the forum. The Support page points users to the Guides as the official docs and to the forum for community support.

  • Historically, moderators have also said the team aims to keep Guides current, but timing varies when features move quickly

How you can help (and actually make a difference)

  • Post specific corrections on the forum with:
    • the exact Guide URL,
    • what’s inaccurate or missing,
    • your OS and Manager version,
    • the correct/current steps (screenshots help).
      These reports are seen and acted on; several threads about guide issues led to follow‑ups and fixes.
  • If you’re willing to draft improved wording, include your proposed text in the same post. That accelerates updates.
  • For translations, the “Get Involved” links on the site show how the project handles community localization; if you’re multilingual, that’s another way to contribute.
