System Information
Operating system: macOS-10.15.7-x86_64-i386-64bit 64 Bits

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.4.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-09-24 17:57, hash: blender/blender@4e7983e073

Short description of error
In this page:

https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/modeling/meshes/editing/edge/bevel.html

there is mentioning of

The Profile slider controls the shape of the arc.

As captured in this image:

I followed the description of the manual trying to recreate what is said in the text through this example, as shown in this screenshot:
Screenshot 2022-09-28 at 06.13.43.png

and I'm unable to locate the Profile slider, as mentioned in the manual text. Do you know where is this? Or that manual needed to be corrected?

Here is the file I'm testing:

I was looking for the word Profile as a label to a slider field, similar to the Miter Shape where the left mouse LMB can be held down and dragged to change a value range or a list of presets. I have been to Custom and presets dialogue but could not locate such a field with Profile label on it. If the Custom Profile Graph is referred here then it needed to declare as such in the documentation of the manual. Do not expect users to guess haphazardly. As a translator I am standing from the point of a Blender tutor teaching an audience about the software's functionality here. If I am puzzled then what chance the audience has?

I agree, the documentation should be made to be more accurate and explicit.
