The manual still described a Home page that no longer exists. Home was reworked into two columns in #653 and its About section reworked again in #655; the docs followed neither.

HOME.md

Said "Below 'Needs Attention,' you'll see a list of tablets". Needs attention is the right-hand column now, and the tablet list is on the left under About — nothing is below anything.

It also called the tablet rows cards, which they stopped being when Entity was de-boxed: they are hairline-separated rows with no container.

Adds a sentence for the About section, which the page had never documented at all.

The existing voice and structure are kept; only what had become false is changed.

USERMANUAL.md

Its per-page guide promised "the About/Help cards". The Help card is gone entirely — its text became HELP.md and the card became a Get help link — and About is a section, not a card.

HELP.md

Told people to find their version "in parentheses next to ABOUT", which was true for about a day before the version moved into the paragraph as plain text. It now points at the end of the About paragraph rather than naming a version-shaped string that will drift again.

For the reviewer

I checked the rest of the docs for the same rot. ADVANCED.md, INSTALL.md and SETTINGS.md reference Needs attention as a concept, which is still accurate; TABLET.md never mentioned BASICS, so the MODEL / ACTIVE AREA rename left nothing stale there.

Layout claims are taken from the current DashboardView.axaml and AboutView.axaml, not from a screenshot. All relative links in the rewritten HOME.md resolve.

Docs only — nothing here builds or is covered by tests.

Home was reworked into two columns (#653) and its About section reworked
again (#655), but the manual still described the old single-flow page.

HOME.md said "Below Needs Attention, you'll see a list of tablets" —
Needs attention is the right-hand column now, and the tablet list is on
the left under About, so nothing is below anything. It also called the
tablet rows "cards", which they stopped being when Entity was de-boxed:
they are hairline-separated rows with no container. Adds the About
section, which the page never documented at all.

USERMANUAL.md's per-page line promised "the About/Help cards". The Help
card is gone — its text moved to HELP.md and the card became a "Get help"
link — and About is a section with links rather than a card.

HELP.md told people to find their version "in parentheses next to ABOUT",
which was true for about a day. It is plain text at the end of the About
paragraph now, so the instruction points there instead of naming a
version-shaped string that will drift.
