I can see there are no updates captured for secure connect documentation whereas in reality the secure connect documentation is updated for this timeframe. Can we be more consistent posting such updates (Secure Connect) in this digest because this is an area where documentation is changing very frequently. That will be a great help and the true value out of this forum. Randomness is not helping.
