Short description of error
[Please fill out a short description of the error here]

The descriptions of the nodes and their functions are all correct but it should absolutely be mentioned in the Documentation (here and in the two displacement nodes) that the Material Surface settings also have to be set in order to actually displace a mesh surface and that this behaviour is deactivated by default. This is absolutely not clear or discoverable without forum searching from the documentation alone.

Nevermind. It's correct. I got confused by the picture in the documentation. The type screenshot implied the page was supposed to be about the shader editor instead of the shader settings.

Adding a screenshot like this one would clarify this in case the user comes to the page from a search result instead of deliberately looking for the material component settings.

Or possibly this one:
