Can you be more specific? A link would help.

Or, better still, fix it and make a pull request on Github.

OK, I see it correct under the GUI section, but i was looking under the
next section  (G-Code Programming) that shows it with the older method.

Another question on this subject, In the touch-off window, is P0
just shorthand to touch off in the current workspace (G54, G55, etc)?

One instance of the old way is just down screen a aways in section 3.5, 
both the screenshot and the text is old. There may be more, but that is

The change happened during 2.7, and the very first picture in the
current (2.7) docs shows the two buttons.

If you can say exactly where in the docs the old way is described then
we can fix it.
