Don't know where to ask this

but please hear this from a user, when I look at the documentation, the lack of images leads to a kind of circle of nothing.

For example, I look for polybuild - there's no image of the polybuild icon
it tells me it's in the Toolbar- what's the Toolbar, I think - again there's no image

https://i.postimg.cc/d12Y8mVc/image.png

(there's also no link from the referenceto Tool: Toobar)

So I select Toobarfrom the list on the left.
Once again there's no image - what or where is the Toolbar.

If you already know then it's obvious. But if you don't know you can't find out, and really looking in the official documentation should make these things obvious.
Because for me and I suspect other usersthe Blender documentation means I have to try and wade thru' endless youtube tutorials to discover pretty basic info about the program - that the official docs assume the user already knows.
for example Toobaris not pictured in the Editors/3D Viewport/

thanks
