Online documentation for UIv4?

Today I got a popup in the UI saying that UIv4 is about to be forced on us for reports, settings, collector settings, audit logs, and more, apparently by April 30. Which is in 2 days. Shame on me I guess for not looking at collector release notes I guess, since in the past I could trust them to not be functionally radical. No time in the day.

Anyway I decided to start learning the UIv4 for reports first, since thats the one that will impact normal users the most, and it looks to me like the page is still for UIv3. Its a problem I have generally, that all these UIv4 changes are coming, but when I look at online documentation (searching for something like, logicmonitor reports documentation) its almost always UIv3. At least nothing looks like UIv4 in this reports link that came up. I tried linking the URL in this post but the Publish button worked so here is a screenshot of the official support page titled "Creating & Managing Reports":

 

That image above is definitely UIv3. So I guess my question is, given that we are required to deal with this new UI, when will all the official support pages start showing UIv4 info? I'm going to have to re-learn everything, on a short notice apparently, and while I can hunt and peck in the new UI, I'm wondering if there are any official documentation replacement pages for UIv4 for the entirety of the portal?

I probably disagree with LM on whether their new UI is intuitive or not, but there needs to be official documentation. And perhaps there is. I'm asking. :)

    To clarify the above, when I said "and it looks to me like the page is still for UIv3" ... I meant the documentation page.

     

    Also I did see the note at the top about the up to date content, the page admits its legacy, but if you follow the link, its just a list of report types. No explanations, no screenshots, nothing that breaks down, explains, or even displays the new UIv4 at all, not in the first 2 or 3 reports I looked at from that linked page.
