However, there are statements in it that say that one must use QGIS 3.4. and the first figure in the manual does not look like the current version of QGIS, which is, in my case 3.26 for the Mac. I do not know if the older versions by default had the side toolbar or not as shown in the User Interface Figure.

Hi Glenn,

You are talking about https://docs.qgis.org/3.22/en/docs/training_manual/index.html ?

Indeed this one is already pretty old [0], so it could be that certain screenshots or ways of working are not exactly the same anymore..
But as it was written for people doing there first steps of GIS, I would think that it could still be used to have a 'path of learning'.

But (as all docs) the docs etc are all volunteering work, so if you had a look and it was really not usefull anymore, we could either remove it from our current doc versions, OR somebody has to put some time in it to update the exercises/screenshot to reflect current version of QGIS.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

PS about a searchable archive: indeed there is no other way, other then using google I think (before there was nabble... but I think it is gone....)
