ATF/filter change instructions

[Teacake]

I know I've asked this question before, but has anyone had sight of the actual instructions Audi dealers themselves use when changing ATF and the transmission filter?

I've seen PaulW's excellent guide, and have the Bentley Repair Manual for the A8/S8, but can only find diagrams of the parts in there rather than the actual instructions of what to do.

Do they use ELSAWin?

If so I'm sure one of us could show you that...
