Quicken 2017 Manual For Mac Computer

Dear Quicken reply,
I bought Quicken 2017 for the Mac but I find it difficult to use without some kind of manual, so I’m still using Quicken 2007. I am a long-time Quicken user, since MacMoney (remember that?) went away.
I would like to explore the new options, including using web-based, but not before reading some kind of manual that explains Quicken 2017 for the Mac, and how I can replicate the way I use Quicken 2007.
I keep looking for one on Amazon, but only Windows manuals are available. For example, here is a review of the latest available manual:

Did not indicate upfront that this was a Windows only guide - almost useless for a Mac. In this App like so many Windows apps is not intuitive. This particular version of Quicken (and I have been using Quicken for over 15 years) is the most difficult version that I have dealt with and the guide was of no use.
———————————————
Please let me know when some manual for Quicken 2017 for the Mac becomes available.
Thanks,
Paul

Oct 13, 2016  However, it still lags behind Quicken for Windows in some areas and we're still waiting for equality with the PC version. However, the changes and enhancements to Quicken 2017 for Mac show that the new owners are moving in the right direction. You can get Quicken 2017 for Mac from the Mac App Store for $74.99 or from Amazon for around $43.71.

    helps me get started reverse-engineering my own reference manual, when I need to move off Q2007.

    For what is worth the manuals on Amazon are by third parties. So it is really up to some author/company to decide it they feel they want to try to market a Quicken Mac manual.
    Even though one of them says the 'Official Guide' I'm not even sure if that means that Quicken Inc endorses it (maybe I just don't know).

    Regardless, there are no third party guides for QMac, only QWin.

    Sigh- what happened to reference manuals? And it is particularly infuriating to see that Amazon has one for Windows, but not the Mac!
    I guess I'll have to reverse-engineer my own, when Apple forces me to move off of Quicken 2007 because on some new OS.

    Paul, it's not a Quicken thing; unfortunately, most software nowadays doesn't have a reference manual.
    As for absence of a third-party book, well, that's not Quicken's fault; blame the computer book publishers for not seeing enough of a market for such a book.
    That said, the resources listed above, plus asking questions on this forum, can go pretty far towards getting you up and running on the modern Quicken
    Mac. You certainly don't have to reverse engineer a manual with all the information that already exists. (But if you do, maybe you could get it published!
