Difficulty using documentation - WHERE or HOW to find API info on nRF Connect SDK

Feeling disappointed while trying to find information on nRF Connect SDK documentation. Let me give this simple example:

Mission: check and ensure that watchdog is enabled in an existing project for nRF5340.

First attempt: visit http://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/1.5.0/nrf/index.html 

It seems I'm in the right place...
- Try to look at the options expanding "Application Development": no, it does not seem to be here.
- Try to look at the options clicking on "Working with nRF53 Series": confusing information here... Drivers? no. Libraries? no. Applications and samples? no.
- Keep expanding and contracting other reasonable links... no, definitely not here... Better idea! Search for WATCHDOG!

It returns 8 results, the first one is called Watchdog module... High hopes!

Then things get even more confusing... Apparently this is for "something else"! 

There is something saying nRF Desktop in the path... That's probably not what I'm looking for. What is this nRF Desktop? Is it what I'm working with? Click on the main entry, see that this is a "reference design of a Human Interface Device..." No, definitely the wrong place...

Back in circles, but I'm sure that /nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/ is not the right place to look for how to use nRF functionalities... Tired and disappointed, let me try the DevZone.

Where shall I go to learn to use something simple as configuring the watchdog for my project?

Thanks!

Bruno
