How could we improve the Timescale documentation site?

At https://docs.timescale.com/use-timescale/latest/integrations/query-admin/dbeaver/ it would be nice to document how continuous aggregates will show up in the tool DBeaver, which many people use.

Also, how we can view data in continuous aggregates using DBeaver.

I am currently testing this locally, and it seems as if, even though we create a continuous aggregate as a MATERIALIZED VIEW, that they somehow in DBeaver appear as normal VIEW, which is confusing to me.

Additionally, it would be nice to specifically test and document the behavior of the "View Data" action in DBeaver regarding a continuous aggregate, because that might require expanding the privileges of the user in some way, or, an alternative to view the data.

Organizational note: In the TimescaleDB Community Slack I was told that this documentation request is a nice idea and that I should create this issue.
