Screenshot of the warning/message

At the top of my Home directorty appears this strange warning or inline help:

    Files in this folder will appear in the Create Document menu.

If this is not a bug, then I would posit that the message needs to be better thought out. It is the first thing that grabs your attention when starting 'Files'.

What is the Create Document menu? I cannot see it anywhere on my screen, in gnome-shell or in nautilus. It seems that we are referring to an hard to discover feature here, which will only leads to questions, or informational overload.

If this is a feature we want to encourage usage of, perhaps a something like a link in the message which takes them to this 'Create Document' menu would be appropriate?
