I have updated the user manual to include functionality added as part of releases 3.3 and 4.0. Please take a look and let me know if you have any questions/comments/edits before I post to the wiki. Thanks!

Thanks, Megan! The User Manual update to version 4.0 looks great! A handful of - all minor - comments appear below. Thanks, Aron 1. On p. 30, when using "Create new from existing," we say that "Only field data will be copied over to the new record; relationships are not duplicated." Do we also need to explain that a few selected fields (e.g. identification numbers) may not be copied over, or is that confusing? 2. On p. 31, running a report, we say that "Your operating system will prompt you to save the file to your computer." We might say instead, "Your browser will either display the report in a new window or tab, or prompt you to save the report as a file to your computer." 3. On p. 33, tabs, we say that "The tab on the far left is the Primary tab for the record type you’re editing ..." Should we say "The Current Record tab on the far left ..."? 4. On p. 34, relating records, we say "To add a brand-new Cataloging record, select the + Add record button on the right." I'd suggest starting this with "To add a brand-new Cataloging record and relate it to your current record ..." 5. On p. 39, structured dates, we might mention that the Esc key can also be used to close the dialog. 6. On p. 47, procedures, do we want to mention that the sample Lifesci museum profile also includes a Taxonomy authority, or would that just be confusing? 7. Also on p. 47, we note that "The core schema in CollectionSpace may be extended for domain- or organization-specific implementations. Visit the Try CollectionSpace section of the project website to learn more about configuring and customizing the core schema." Two suggestions: change "configuring and customizing" to "configuring and extending" in the second sentence, and link to some other page - perhaps the Documentation wiki? - rather than to Try CollectionSpace (http://www.collectionspace.org/try_collectionspace). The 'Try' page doesn't seem to provide any actionable documentation itself, and a user would then need to locate the (possibly below the fold) Documentation button to.
