TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
IMHO, this type of wording should be in the document. When there is a
change in procedure, keystrokes, etc., the user might not know the name of
the task they used to do, but they will know how they used to do it.

The sentence that begins "Previously . . ." is what I'm talking about.
Needed explanation? Marketing material?
