At tonight's VMUG general meeting, Chas showed a video from themacu.com, which got me curious to see what was on that site. I came across a tutorial on how to erase all content from you Mac, in preparation for selling it, and it was a method I was unaware of, so I thought I would check it out. It claims that in Monterey you can go into System Preferences and from the menu pull down to see a new item: "Erase All Content and Settings..."



But when I go into my System Preferences (on Monterey 12.1) I don't see this:


Can any other Monterey users see the missing new feature?

That was probably in a beta and they thought better of that idea before the official release.
