It looks like Element updated their UI so documentation is outdated #93

I'm following the following manual to enable encription: https://simple-matrix-bot-lib.readthedocs.io/en/latest/manual/encryption.html#verification

In Element Web or Desktop, open the bot user’s info and click on "X session(s)" - NOT on "Verify".

Nor Desktop, nor web apps offer any "X sessions" menu. I cannot find any other button other than simple "Verify", and when I press it my console says

Received key verification event with an unknown transaction id from @botusername:matrix.org
Verification has been cancelled by @botusername:matrix.org for reason "The user cancelled the verification.".

I'll refer to the top of the documentation:

Warning! This documentation is currently unmaintained and may be out of date. Updated documentation coming soon with simplematrixbotlib version 3

simplematrixbotlib depends on matrix-nio. Unfortunately, clients using matrix-nio (such as bots made using simplematrixbotlib) are no longer able to handle encrypted messages. See https://github.com/matrix-nio/matrix-nio/issues/430

Until matrix-nio fixes this problem, encryption won't work with simplematrixbotlib

I see!

1. I think I found out what documentation meant. It should be worded like this: "Open any room or chat and locate the new session on the right-hand panel. Click on it".
2. I see it's broken: buttons to verify do not respond, if opened in browser console throws errors. Is there a way to start unencrypted chats? What's the current workaround?

Do you mean a way to start unencrypted DMs between a single user and the bot? If so, initiated by Element or the bot?
