Let's focus on this one page. Here's what the copy says:
"If the data of the source sheet has been changed, LibreOffice recalculates the
pivot table. To recalculate the table, choose Data - Pivot Table - Refresh. Do
the same after you have imported an Excel pivot table into LibreOffice Calc."
At the very least, this wording is ambiguous. The first sentence implies that
changing the source data will update the pivot table, but the next sentence
just states how to recalculate the table manually. If changing the data always
updates the table, why would one ever need to manually trigger the update?
(And I'm also wondering why we'd need to whack the 'recalculate' process again
when importing an Excel pivot table; can't that be automatic?)
Edgimar: It sounds like you have a valid point here, so please follow Regina's
notes and file a new bug report for each issue.
As for this report, I think it may be a good idea for us to provide more
information about the age of particular documentation. On the Online Help page
listed above, we have a last edit date of 2012-09-14. It's entirely plausible
that the docs and procedures haven't changed in the last 3 years, but it would
be helpful to have some method of reviewing the content periodically and
providing the last-reviewed-date on those pages.
Edgimar: Thoughts on how we can better communicate re: the Online Help?
