Why was that done ???? Why would things be deleted? I don't remember a lot of unnecessary info in that manual. This is all in Git right? Can't those changes be reversed? I have copies of the older integrators manual but what about the changes? If it is a mess, I'd pull the magic "Git-Revert" lever and put it back the way it was. That manual is key to setting up EMC2 for a new user.
