Short description of error
The information after Workspace makes no sense to new users. This is because this part of the manual comes before the explanation of the properties editor. The Reference box shows Properties as the editor where the Workspace Settings can be found. So it did make sense to look at the lower right corner where the Properties (Purple Box in previous pages) is at. Then it says "Menu"" But there is no menu bar in the Properties Editor....only a side bar with tabs. And the Tool tab icon is not explained. It leaves you wondering, where is this "Active Tool and Workspace Settings" button? Through a process of elimination, one does realize it was meaning the TOOL TAB on the PROPERTIES Editor and that the MODE and FILTER ADD-ONS it was trying to explain where properties in that tab.

I am sure this is all seemingly simple to a seasoned Blenderer, but, we all have to start somewhere. :D

Updated. It turns out the new "Pin Scene" checkbox in this panel was also not documented yet, so that's fixed now too.
