confirmed, that screenshot is outdated.
FYI, the menu bar can be re-enabled from the configuration perspective -> Look & Feel -> uncheck 'Hide the menu bar', and the system variables have moved to the last tab in the configuration perspective.

Hello, I noticed that documentation has been updated for version 2.9 :)

There is still an error regarding the position in the hop-config.json file where the new variables are saved: in the file there is no section "systemProperties", but new variables are added in the "variables" section like this:

{
  "variables" : [ {
  ...
  }, {
    "name" : "MY_SYSTEM_PROPERTY",
    "value" : "SomeValue",
    "description" : "My new system property/variable"
  } ], 
  ...
}
