<p>For page "Device Auto Mount" There are several mentions in the
help file for things that I cannot see in the GUI system settings
panel (see screenshot attached). Flagged below in bold:</p>

<p>Device Auto-Mount<br>
Trever Fischer<br>
<br>
Revision Plasma<br>
5.20 (2021-04-08)<br>
This dialog allows you to configure automatic mounting of disks
and volumes.<br>
<br>
If you enable the automatic mounting features in this module, you
will not need to use the device notifier applet or the navigation
panel in the file manager to get access to a recently plugged in
device.<br>
<br>
At the top of the dialog you find the <b>global settings [not
visible. Has this been renamed "All Known Devices"?]</b>, which
can be overridden for each single device in the <b>Device
Overrides list [not visible. Has it been renamed "Attached
Devices"?].</b> For a single-user desktop it is recommended to
have all the check boxes above the overrides list enabled.<br>
<br>
<b>Enable automatic mounting of removable media [not visible. All
I have is "Automatically mount removable media that have never
been mounted before].</b><br>
When this is unchecked, no device automounting of any kind will
happen, regardless of anything selected in the Device Overrides
section.<br>
<br>
<b>Only automatically mount removable media that has been manually
mounted before </b><b> [not visible. All I have is
"Automatically mount removable media that have never been
mounted before].</b><br>
When this is checked, Plasma will only automatically mount devices
it remembers. A device is “remembered” if it has ever been mounted
before; e.g. plugging in a USB media player to charge is not
sufficient to “remember” it. If the files are not accessed, Plasma
will not automatically mount the player next time it is seen. Once
they have been accessed, however, Plasma will remember to
automatically make the contents accessible to your system.<br>
<br>
<b>Automatically mount all removable media at login </b><b> [not
visible. All I have is "Automatically mount removable media that
have never been mounted before].</b><br>
If any removable storage devices are connected to your system when
you login to your desktop, Plasma will automatically make the
contents available to your system for other programs to read.<br>
<br>
<b>Automatically mount removable media when attached </b><b> [not
visible. All I have is "Automatically mount removable media that
have never been mounted before].</b><br>
When this is checked, Plasma will automatically make the contents
of any storage device available to the system when it is plugged
in or attached.<br>
<br>
<b>Automatic mount [Not visible. Has it been renamed "Attached
Devices"?]</b><br>
This list contains the storage devices known to Plasma. If On
Login is checked, the device will be automatically mounted even
though Automatically mount all removable media at login is
unchecked. The same applies for On Attach.<br>
<br>
If Enable automatic mounting of removable media is unchecked, the
overrides do not apply and no devices will be automatically
mounted.<br>
<br>
Forget Device<br>
Clicking this button causes Plasma to “forget” that the selected
devices ever existed. This is only useful if Only automatically
mount removable media that has been manually mounted before is
checked. Once a device is forgotten and Plasma is set to only
automatically mount familiar devices, the device will not be
automatically mounted.</p>
