+Converting to MeshInstance3D
+----------------------------
+
+Since Godot 4.4, you can convert a CSG node and its children to a :ref:`class_MeshInstance3D` node.
+
+This has several benefits:
+
+- Bake lightmaps, since UV2 can be generated on a MeshInstance3D.
+- Bake occlusion culling, since the occlusion culling bake process only takes MeshInstance3D into account.
+- Faster loading times, since the CSG mesh no longer needs to be rebuilt when the scene loads.
+- Better performance when updating the node's transform if using the mesh within another CSG node.
+
+To convert a CSG node to a MeshInstance3D node, select it, then choose
+**CSG > Bake Mesh Instance** in the toolbar. The MeshInstance3D node
+will be created as a sibling. Note that the CSG node that was used for baking is **not** hidden
+automatically, so remember to hide it to prevent its geometry from overlapping with the newly created
+MeshInstance3D.
+
+You can also create a trimesh collision shape using **CSG > Bake Collision Shape**.
+The generated :ref:`class_CollisionShape3D` node must be a child of a :ref:`class_StaticBody3D`
+or :ref:`class_AnimatableBody3D` node to be effective.
+
+.. tip::
+
+    Remember to keep the original CSG node in the scene tree, so that you can
+    perform changes to the geometry later if needed. To make changes to the
+    geometry, remove the MeshInstance3D node and make the root CSG node visible
+    again.
+
 Exporting as glTF
-------------------------
+-----------------
 
 It can be useful to block out a level using CSG, then export it as a 3d model, to
 import into 3D modeling software. You can do this by selecting **Scene > Export As... >
