"FamilySearch Labs" box has vanished
Some weeks ago, the Home page was updated. This included the removal of the "FamilySearch Labs" box. However, the Help article for this feature (How do I find FamilySearch Labs?) has not been updated. It currently reads as follows:
Steps (website)
While signed in, go to the FamilySearch home page.
Part way down the page, along the right side, find the FamilySearch Labs box, and click View Experiments.
You can also go to www.familysearch.org/labs.
The feature can be accessed via a "FamilySearch Labs" link in the "Ways to Contribute" section of the footer menu at the bottom of most FS pages. You may need to expand the footer menu by clicking "More" at the righthand side of the menu to see the link.
Can the Help article be updated?

@JulianBrown38 I was able to locate the Lab page several different ways, including the box on the main page, which is on the right-hand side of the page
You can also go directly to the page by using https://www.familysearch.org/en/labs/ It appears the instructions in the help article are still current.

@sc woz I intended (and forgot) to say that I am not an LDS church member and I am located in New Zealand (if that's relevant). My home page is quite different from yours, and no longer has the FamilySearch Labs box. This is what I see on my home page (the footer menu is off the screen).
By the way, another result of the update was the removal of another feature. It was a link to a video titled something like "What is FamilySearch". That doesn't concern me; I've watched the video.

Maybe it is a NZ thing?
I too am not a LDS church member, but I am in the USA. Here's what my home page looks like:

@JulianBrown38 Labs still show up on my UK non-LDS home page (both mobile and desktop versions - neither has changed for some time). I will keep an eye out for Labs and other things disappearing!
