Information problem // guide

I don't know if it's me who doesn't know how to inform myself well. But I'm still surprised at the lack of information on how OCtane works.
I use the 3dsmax plugin and the documentation is from 2021.
There are new features in the latest version such as Photo tracing and I can't find any explanation of why I should use this mode in what circumstances.
Overall the changes from one version to another change the rendering a lot in the scenes and we have little information.
Could you explain your updates a little better?

THANKS

There are plenty of new fantastic features I'm not aware of because lack of informations in the manual, you guys are doing amazing job but as "artists" we need a lot more of tutorials accessible in a same spot, searching in the forum deepness is not a great way :/

I imagine it's complicated to update all the communication media but I'm just making a suggestion.
It would be good if when you start octane there is information if a new version has been released with the list of new features
so we would already be aware that there is a new version because very often I discover after a few months that there are already 3 new versions and suddenly we are overwhelmed by the novelties and a little lost.
It's up to you to go regularly to the forum for new updates. Anyway, thank you for your work and your great software.
