Hi All,

Our Sigil User's Guide is still at Sigil 1.9.10 level and there has been a number of gui and preferences changes since then.

I would like help from volunteers to bring the manual up to the level of the forthcoming Sigil 2.3.0 (which is in Beta now).

The bulk of the text is fine as is, but additions for new features like the tool to rebase opf manifest ids, a new Bookmark icon, changes to drop high dpi settings, the ability to add and link blank javascript files in BookBrowser, the new Find and Replace settings, new Focus moving menu items, and etc means many screenshots and some text will need to be changed and updated.

I will generate a list of the major changes since Sigil 1.9.10 and post them here.

Once I have done that I would love for people to volunteer to update one or more chapters of the User's Guide (like we did once before) by claiming them in this thread first - to prevent duplication of effort.

We will make a near final pre-release build of Sigil-2.3.0 for use by volunteers to use for screenshots.

Thank you in advance for anyone that volunteers to help update any chapter.
