Quick Start Guide Doesn't Show Current User Interface

The Quick Start Guide shows an old version of Zotero, which is confusing for users who are trying to learn the basic functions of the tool. For example, it directs people to right click on the My Library entry to create a new Collection, but right clicking no longer brings up a Zotero-context menu, just the browser options. There is also no longer a folder with a plus sign icon, and the "Add Collection" plus sign only appears if you hover over the "Library" line, which is both inaccessible and unintuitive.

Are there plans to update the Quick Start Guide to reflect the current user interface?

While the Quick Start Guide is a bit outdated, mostly it just sounds like you're using the web library, not the actual Zotero software available from the download page. All documentation on this site is going to be about the desktop app. If you're using Zotero for any significant work, that's what you want to be using.
