P: Incomplete and out-of-date documentation for Preferences > Lightroom Sync

The documentation for Preferences > Lightroom Sync in "Lightroom Classic CC Help" is out-of-date and incomplete:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/lightroom-mobile-desktop-features.html#preferences

- The screenshot is from an older version.

- The tab has been renamed from Sync to Lightroom Sync.

- The Rebuild Sync Data button is no longer visible but rather a hidden easter egg accessible by holding down Opt / Alt.

- Rebuild Sync Data isn't documented. From the user forums, it appears this is a fairly common suggested magic incantation, so documenting it would be worthwhile.

    The incorrect information was corrected, but the hidden easter egg Rebuild Sync Data still isn't documented. It's a common suggestion on the forums, so documenting it would help explain to users what it does.

    Lightroom Classic 8.4 was released today and contained a fix for this issue. Please update to 8.4 and verify that you are no longer seeing the issue. Thank you!
