Hello everyone, I was checking the new appendix suggestion from Peter and I think it would be a very nice improvement to the guides
As Peter pointed out, I believe this should be in every guide to allow the user to quickly access some information regarding the toolbars. I agree with Steve about the list of bullet points instead of the screenshots of long menus, but in my opnion this should be restricted to really long ones, giving priority, to the image.
