Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked documentation repository, https://github.com/kFYatek/veracrypt-missing-docs/, and the existing official resources the issue proposes updating. The issue asks whether to link or incorporate these guides and requests contribution guidelines; done means an agreed official integration path, but no target files or tests are identified here.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I took the liberty of writing my own documentation, with step-by-step guides, for all those features that have been in the codebase since 2017, but never integrated with the GUI, and only barely documented with those cryptic PDF files written by @kavsrf and other community efforts on Sourceforge.
Here are my documentation efforts: https://github.com/kFYatek/veracrypt-missing-docs/
I'm mostly just putting it out, but if you want to link to it from any official resources, or incorporate it therein, feel free to do so in any way you feel appropriate. If you want me to remake it into a pull request for example, I'd be glad for some guidelines on that.
