Update the SONAR Reference Guide more frequently

Sorry Scook - I voted before I read your post completely. I feel it should be updated "more" frequently, but understand that monthly is probably (possibly) excessive - especially if this affects resources applied to program fixes and enhancements.
That being said, I would believe that it shouldn't be a big deal to generate a pdf of the help file, should it?
No offence to Cake, but an up to date Reference Guide is more important to me than a Start Page or changes to the CCC. Just my opinion.

Thanks Scook (for resetting my vote)- I still think this is a "5" and revoted to reflect. Thanks for clarifying the resource situation wrt documentation.

There should be no competition for resources. The documentation group is different from the dev group.

This might be true as far as competing with resources for Sonar bugs and features, but I have to believe that the documentation people are doing *something* other than eating bagels between Sonar doc productions.  If not, then I have some cost containment measures in mind for Cakewalk.

Both the website and chm are searchable.

How do I find the chm? All the links under the Help tab appear to go to the web. None appear to go to local documentation.

Given that the online documentation is continuously updated, I can refer to that more often and report any issues I encounter. Some time back I started using the online documentation but ran in to trouble along the way and switched back to the pdf versions, but I don't recall what the problem was. It might have been difficulties printing excerpts that I could markup and keep at my desk I'll start relying more on the online documentation.
 
With respect to how often to update the pdf versions, I'd say as often as practical but not too often. I like having it available for use offline. Like other's I think adding features and correcting problems are more important than maintaining pdf documentation.
 
Also it's confusing to get a new copy of an old PDF file with each release. I'd prefer that the PDF file not be included in updates unless it's been updated and has a new version number.

(i thought i'd posted this already but can;t find it within the last 18 months of forum posts)
 
update the big reference guide (circa 2015) with all the update infos (forum/ezine) since then
 
ideally this would be every month with the update (it's not a big task) but could just be yearly or?

My latest idea:  update the pdf guide and ref.  Free downloads and make printed copies available via lulu.com

It would be great, if the manual in pdf-format gets an update. While the chtm-file is good at the pc, I like to have a pdf to print certain things, read on an tablet or even an ereader.
The version in my installation folder is from 2015 and there was happening a lot with the rolling updates...
Thank you!

wondering why the PDF version isn't kept up-to-date when the CHM version is? can't someone just do a "save as PDF" from the same source??
