Maya's Arnold AiToon manual deleted

I don't why this happened, but the old AiToon manual was deleted from the Arnold website, if you use any old links for the instruction manual, for example, this or this it just redirects you to the new Arnold User Guide. While the new guide does have a section for AiToon, it is greatly inferior to the old guide, which had several pages detailing the functions of AiToon, plus several tutorials for it. Even the old AiToon tutorial videos, for example, The Making of Sophie have a link in the description for the old manual... I think the removal of this manual affects the learning possibilities of those who want to understand AiToon. 

 

Is there any chance the old AiToon manual could be re-uploaded? Or maybe it was just moved somewhere else? 

As a final note, do you guys know of any other resources for researching AiToon? Thanks.

The information has been moved to the main Arnold docs: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ARNOL/ENU/?guid=arnold_user_guide_ac_surface_shaders_ac_toon_htmlt

Plugin specific information is available in the MtoA guide here: https://help.autodesk.com/view/ARNOL/ENU/?guid=arnold_for_maya_surface_am_Toon_html

Hi. Thanks for providing me with the link for the manual! Though I also have to say, perhaps it would help others if you update the links on your Arnold's Toon Shader videos, since they redirect to the new Arnold Manual, which doesn't include this detailed breakdown on AiToon. Also, the links you provided me don't seem to appear on google.
Thanks for your help.
