No matter how often i check blenderdocs, never ocne, and i do mean never once did it help me, their shown pictures for help are so terribly outdated it doesnt even look remotely like current blender anymore.

And when im lucky enough to find something i actually need, the advice is just plainwrong (most recently the knife tool and cut-through, literally wrong information)

How old is your version of blender? I can barely find anything with how different the docs look

you sure you’re looking at the right docs? https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/ this seems pretty up to date to me

Like you accidentally end up here instead, for example: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/2.92/animation/index.html

Pretty subtle difference to most people (2.92 vs. latest). Especially if you get to the doc page via a search engine-- The search result often refers to a particular version, just cause of how crawling/indexing works, and that’s likely to not be the your version.
