Why is the size of the MATLAB R2023a ISO image small compared to previous releases?

Beginning with R2023a, product documentation and examples are not included in the MathWorks Product Installer ISO nor DMG. Documentation can still be accessed inside of MATLAB if you have an internet connection. If you do not have an internet connection and wish to have access to documentation and examples offline, then you will need to download and install them separately:
