I took a look and sure enough it is there. I swear it wasn't
there a month ago. That's what happens when you bury
your nose in the computer for too long without a break :~)

Now that I see that icon, the mouseover tip is clear
"Update Text Frame."  However, in the File menu two things are
confusing. First, the option is named "Save Document" which
is not as clear to me as "Update Text Frame" or the even clearer
"Update Text Frame without Exiting."  Second, the option is
grouped with "Save to File..." and "Load from File..." instead of
with "Update Text Frame and Exit" and "Exit Without Updating Text Frame."
