Where is the "wizard staff"?

Calibre 5.35

Referring to the Calibre user manual (ebook ref. 19.43), "Conversions", there is a reference to a "wizard staff". However it does not explain what or where the "wizard" / "wizard staff" are.

In the same section there's a reference to a "Test" button, but, AFAICS, there's no such thing.

When the Wizard has a template, it may also have a Test button

Many of the Tabs for Conversion settings have a Wizard button at the far Right of an field.
NB This is fairly common usage in other places in Calibre where Templates (of one kind or another) are used

The manual says this:

Quote:

In the Search & replace part, you can input a regexp (short for regular expression) that describes the string that will be replaced during the conversion. The neat part is the wizard. Click on the wizard staff and you get a preview of what calibre “sees” during the conversion process. Scroll down to the string you want to remove, select and copy it, paste it into the regexp field on top of the window.

What "wizard staff"? What preview? Perhaps this description refers to an older version of Calibre, but the interface has been updated since.

Note that that doc is discussing conversion. You can see the staff etc here.
