Also updated the screenshot to reflect that change, as
well as the new solver option.

The Boolean modifier.
Intersect
- Opposite of *Difference* (everything *inside* of the target mesh is kept).
+ Everything inside both the target mesh and the modified mesh is kept.
+ If the target is a collection, then only the inside of *all* meshes is kept.
Union
- The target mesh is added to the modified mesh.
+ The target mesh or collection is added to the modified mesh,
+ removing any interior faces.
Difference
- The target mesh is subtracted from the modified mesh (everything *outside* of the target mesh is kept).
+ The target mesh, or collection of meshes, is subtracted from the modified mesh
+ (everything *outside* of the target mesh or collection is kept).
+Operand type
+ Choose the type of the operand (target).
+
+ Object
+ The target is a mesh object.
+
+ Collection
+ The target is a collection.
+ When the target is a collection and the Solver is Fast,
+ the Intersect operation is not allowed.
+
Object
The name of the target mesh object.
+Collection
+ The name of the target collection (may be empty if Solver is Exact,
+ which can be useful in combination with the Self option).
+
Solver
Algorithm used to calculate the boolean intersections.
