The Attribute Proximity node.
For each point in the input geometry, this node finds the closest position on the target.
Both these positions and the distance to them can be stored in attributes.

Maybe worth mentioning the type of the attribute created is float.

Like you noticed in the chat, typo here.

HooglyBoogly: Like you noticed in the chat, typo here.
A new attribute with that name is added if it does not exist yet.
If it does exist, the values of the existing attribute are overridden.
Position
The name of the attribute where the computed location it stored.
A new attribute with that name is added if it does not exist yet.
If it does exist, the values of the existing attribute are overridden.
Properties
==========
Target Geometry
The geometry element of the Target to calculate the distance from.

You can add some more detail here:

Target Geometry
   Points
      Calculate the closest point or vertex on the target geometry.
   Edges 
      Calculate the closest point anywhere on the edges of the target geometry's mesh.

etc. Something like that at least.

Output
======
Geometry
Standard geometry output.
Examples
========
The different modes of the node: faces, edges and points.
In this example the geometry nodes modifier is added on the plane.
Note that the plane is subdivided and the cube is not.
