Catalog Browser documentation

by Peter UhnÃ¡k

Hi, is there somewhere documentation for Catalog Browser? Specifically what everything it offers for configurations... I've seen on class side methods #catalogKeywords, #catalogDescription but since I've haven't found docs (maybe Updated Pharo Book can have?) I don't know what else it offers. Thanks, Peter
