Note there is already brush auto-masking documentation here: {https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/BM/browse/trunk/blender_docs/manual/sculpt_paint/sculpting/controls.rst} Although this does not include any of the new features.

I have this separated into the "Controls" page to be consistent with other similar properties in other modes/editors for example see {https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/BM/browse/trunk/blender_docs/manual/editors/3dview/controls/}

I would like to know your opinion on this and how it aligns with your other planned re-writes.

This revision now requires changes to proceed.Oct 24 2022, 6:23 PM

That would actually be better. I will put the updated information into controls.rst then and add it to the index so it shows up in the manual.

This does not affect any plans for the manual changes I am working on, especially because it's still unclear those big changes will be part of the 3.4 manual.
