Some guides still refer to the "Software Playthrough" option but it is no longer called that.

There are several pages that use the old name for this option when it has been renamed to "audible input monitoring" or something like that.

See for example:

audacity-support/basics/recording-desktop-audio.md

Line 77 in d93117a

**DON'T use software playthrough** when recording desktop audio. Make sure it's off in the menu: **Transport > Transport Options > Software playthrough (on/off)** - The :heavy\_check\_mark:checkmark next to it must be turned off. You can turn off overdub here as well.

I purged most of those from the Manual a while back - but I found just one remaining one in the Manual (in an obscure tutorial on recording audio playing on a Mac - which is hard to do anyway). I just changed that one for the 3.6.2 alpha Manual.
Thanks for the "nudge" @jokrefta 👍

There were several other places where the Manual had the new terminology but also the old as a hint for users used to the old terminology. The transition was a fair few releases back so I have purged all bar one of those mentions of the old terminology.

I only edit the Manual, so I cannot make corrections on the Muse Support site (as per your specific example above), sorry.

BTW there is a separate GitHub location for documentation errors:

This location is supposed to be reserved for application issues.
