Some of us were trying to figure out how to use the redaction tool correctly, as it can be a little counter-intuitive, when somebody pointed out the documentation in the moderator newsletter. That was, in fact, just what we needed -- but, 11 months later, I for one didn't remember that it was there.

Moderators see an additional section in the Help Center for moderator tools. Could we add the information about this tool there? I think of the newsletter as a place for announcements, but I look for help in the Help Center. The instructions are already written; a cut/paste (or link) would do the job.

In general, when a new tool is announced in the newsletter, could you please review the documentation you've already written to see if it also belongs in the help somewhere? I know this does happen sometimes; I don't know how systematic the process is.
