Magento admin controls do not match with the official user guide

Magento admin controls do not match with the official user guide

Hello, 

 

I'm learning Magento 2 and I'm using the official user guide. For example, trying to modify the default contact form the guide clearly instructs the following steps: 


1. On the Admin sidebar, tap Content. Then under Elements, choose Blocks.
2. Find the Contact Us Info block in the list, and open in Edit mode.

 

When I follow them, the block I want is not there. Actually there are no blocks at all. Blocks

 

There are also other examples of mismatch between Magento and the official guide. 
I need to know where to start learning Magento and if the user guide is correct then what is wrong with the installation?
Note that I have this installed locally but I got the same issues when I had Magento on a hosting provider called Nexcess and had their team install magento. 

 

I want to learn Magento 2 to use its backend effectively and then move on to extension development.
