--- Comment #14 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
(In reply to Leandro Martín Drudi from comment #13)
That help leaves a lot to be desired. It is outdated (almost even
abandoned), it is contradictory, many of the things they give to do no
longer work or do not work as described, finding what one is looking for is
difficult because it is imprecise in the results (although it has improved
lately. It happens the same as with Linux: it is managed by the developer's
ego and not by what the User needs.
...

Yes agree, there are inadequacies in the built-in or online Help system. But
those help snippets and tooltips are intended to be lightweight.  For more
comprehensive explanations of particular features or work flows the
Documentation team publishes and updates some very good user manuals. Also,
community users write some very good blogs and user manuals. I provided links
to both types.

And, as noted the ask.libreoffice.org, the User mail-list, and various
contributed blogs (planet.documentfoundation.org) supplement both the Help
system and the published documentation.

You the user have to take responsibility for exploring the tools provided
before asking for additional features and designs that bloat the software and
impose maintenance burden on the project.

The community is here to help you with that. There is no malice toward meeting
your needs,  simply this Bugzilla issue tracker is not intended as a substitute
help forum.
