Here's the official HP Prime User Guide download page. Why are there 2 versions of the guide posted there?

HP Prime Graphing Calculator, 3rd Edition, Dec. 2017, 813269-003

HP Prime Graphing Calculator, 2nd Edition, Sep. 2016, 813269-002

If there is a 4th edition dated 2018, shouldn't it be on that official download page?

The "January" edition I mentioned is the 3rd Edition you reference here. It was copyrighted in Dec 2017, but actually released in Jan 2018, hence the informal version name used above.

When new items are released and announced here by Tim, they are available immediately on the ftp site. It takes a while for the 'official' support website pages to be updated, so many folks here have the latest version before it appears there.

The reason no one posts true links to the ftp site here is the mybb s/w mangles the url (converts the ftp:// prefix into an http:// prefix) resulting in links that don't work.

The actual url is "ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/calculators/Prime/Documentation/Calculator/EN/"

I can't speak for HP, but back versions may be listed here (as well as many sites) as often folks like to have all versions, compare what has changed, etc.
