Changes Made to Snippets in v4.7.7

I followed the directions in the XModProHelp04.07.06.pdf file (which is the latest located in the client download folder) to create snippets. I created, and placed the "snippets.js" file in /Portals/_default/XModPro/, but the snippets would not appear in the editor, even after clearing out the cache.

Today, I discovered that I could create a snippet right in the editor, and did so. I then checked to see if the snippets.js file had been updated, but it had not. So I did a search of the site's file structure and found a snippets.config file located in: /DesktopModules/XModPro. The config file did have the newly created snippets.

Digging a little deeper, I pulled up the "Snippets.html" help file found in the XMP v4.7.7 install files. They also referenced using the "Snippets.js" file to create snippets.

First, you may want to update the help files to clarify this issue with snippets.

Secondly, this got me thinking, if there are variations on procedure between the various versions of XMP, shouldn't you have version specific help files for download on the client download page?
