Hello everyone! Thank you Jean for your feedback. I believe you're right bringing this discussion to the mailing list because it might affect other guides as well. I'd like to make some additional remarks:
1) I checked out the AOO forum and there are some recent questions made by users, but it's nowhere near the amount of questions we receive in Ask LibreOffice. I believe that the link to OpenOffice forums should be removed because many features work differently now (menus, dialogs, etc) and this might confuse users instead of helping them. An alternative to removing the link is to add a Caution note explaining that there might be differences between OO and LO. 2) The "Check for Updates" feature is not available in my installation of LibreOffice. I'm using LO 7.0.3.1 on Ubuntu 20.10 (the PPA version). AFIK the PPA maintainers disable some features in their build of LO, which might explain the lack of the "Check for Updates" feature. Maybe we could add a Note explaining that the "Check for Updates" may not be available in packages provided by third-parties.
