hi, 

it would be great to browse the guide books, say, Writer Guide 24.2, and see the changes in chapters...

For example, looking at the Master Document section in the TOC, 
it would be incredibly great to see if there was anything new compared to the previous version...

The 24.2 version ends at page 379, whereas the 7.6 version ends at 373... 
so, there must be something new!
But wait...
the starting page of the section is also different...
No problem, get the calculator...
383-367 = 16
389-73 = 16...

Oh, so, nothing has changed...
At least it looks so...
But even an additional line could be a whole new functionality...

So, if changes were indicated, notonly browsing the handbook, but also utilizing the functionalities and getting a picture on the current version's state would be way easier...

For a start, a simple asterisk would do... at chapter titles and sub-chapter titles, where changes happened...

For a second run, in subchapters, where changes have happened, a what's new paragraph could be at the beginning, noting if there was any change in the functionalities... or just in the guide's text... or if there was some change in the functionalities, what that was...
