Two new things on the guides this cycle:

• a live side-by-side dictionary comparison — type one Sanskrit word and read its entry across Monier-Williams, Apte, Böhtlingk-Roth, and Grassmann at once, fetched live from the Cologne CDSL API, and
• a "Reading Monier-Williams" guide with 69 practice quizzes — the four levels of MW's alphabetical order, its symbols, and tracing a word to its dhātu, with self-check questions that link straight to live CDSL entries.

The CDSL guides now ship three substantial additions:

• an auto-generated dictionary catalog built from the live front page (so it can't drift from the real site),
• offline full-text search across the whole site, and
• B/L/A/M display screenshots captured from the live dictionaries (Monier-Williams in all four modes, plus Apte, Böhtlingk-Roth, and Grassmann for comparison).

The CDSL guides site has been scaffolded with Docusaurus, covering five sections — Using the Site, Dictionaries, Tools, Contributing, and Developers — plus an FAQ.
