Hi @kamweti; thanks for reporting this.
We recently tried changing the name of the item in the menu from “Range” to “Slider”, because, colloquially, we more often hear people talk about sliders. But we were inconsistent; as you noticed, parts of the Quick Guides and documentation were never updated.
We’ve now changed the name of the menu back to “Range”, which matches our Inputs library and the standard HTML term. The description now mentions “slider”, so either term will work if you type to filter.
