The sk122513‌ specify that starting : we should have something that same Admin and user guide.

• E80.72 and higher Remote Access Clients for Windows Administration Guide
• E80.72 and higher Endpoint Security Client for Windows User Guide

=> what does that mean ?

[PhoneBoy]

It means each time we update the Endpoint Security client, there won't necessarily be an update to the documentation. 

That because these updates, which are coming more frequently, are primarily about fixing bugs and improving compatibility rather than adding new features.

That said, if a major feature is added, that will be added to the release notes and/or the documentation set will be updated.
