Copy Link

Just upgraded to Blender 4.2.1 LTS from Blender 3.6.

The Copy Attributes Menu and Amaranth Toolset pages don't seem to be updated with context for Extensions vs Add-ons. There are likely many other pages with this issue. The "Get Extensions" tab was empty the first time I opened Blender so I was a little confused. There are resources online explaining Extensions vs Add-ons, but having the official documentation explain it would help.

Simple change example:

Change
"Open Blender and go to Edit menu, Preferences, then Add-ons."
to
"Open Blender and go to Edit, Preferences, then Get Extensions."
