I have downloaded Version 4.7.2.2019-03-4 of Freedom Studio from the website, and the SiFive Freedom Studio Manual (v2p0).

In the “Getting Started” section, Section 4.1.1 tells me that I should be able to import bundled examples to the Workspace (from the directory location FreedomStudio/SiFive/Examples). However, there is no “Examples” folder in this Freedom Studio download.

Edit: I am working on a Windows 10 environment
