@omrid01 can you upload the images you've used to comments in this thread please, they're not loading when running the docs locally, or in production as the images you've linked to are private to your repository. Or, even better, upload them into the /docs/assets/images folder and then update the references in the docs to load them.

I've also got a bunch of changes which I have just pushed.

I have updated the document with locally placed images. Is there anything else I need to do, or do the updates in the fork automatically propagate into the Pull Request?

LGTM.
Thank you very much for the docs update.
