Description Mike Kaganski 2022-11-18 05:52:14 UTC 
In bug 119812, Windows Share item was removed from File Services dialog on Windows. This needs to be reflected in help:

https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/shared/guide/cmis-remote-files-setup.html

This creates confusion in users:

Additionally, this should mention that on Windows, these shares are accessed using normal OS file dialogs, without Remote Files feature.

Makes perfect sense to me, setting to NEW.
