Add help file: non-manifold body

Hi, love the product, been recommending it to all my friends. (No, seriously, the 3d printing community is a chatty bunch.)
But the non-manifold body issue is a serious pain, and OnShape doesn't have (as far as I can tell) a dedicated help file on it. I was able to find this, which explained the types of non-manifold bodies. It helps me conceptualize what non-manifold means, and maybe possibly troubleshoot them, but a tutorial on the topic would be immensely helpful. It's the kind of thing where you just have to practice a bit to learn it. Oh, right, the link:

So, have we got a help file or tutorial already? If we do I haven't found it through the usual means. If not, could someone put one together? Ideally it would cover the types of non-manifold errors one might see, how to identify which type your model has (it can be tricky), tips and tricks specific to OnShape, and then ways to solve the problems. I would work on this myself but I'm just learning the topic myself.

I agree. See this improvement request:
