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

 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

+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.
