That said, I decided against keeping the features with the Win8.1 in sync and I'll add the support for Documents library in the next update.
While the feature is there, let's use it. But keep in mind, the Windows 8.1 API won't allow us to use Documents library and you have to use the method from the previous comment.
I'll push the update in a couple of minutes and it will be available to you soon.

Unfortunately, Microsoft has decided against the concept of Documents library in Modern apps and in some systems, the path to the library is not presented when you select it. The solution would be adding the directory via:
1- If you have added all drives and know the path, navigate to the directory and add it as a shortcut. Alternatively you can copy the path from File Explorer and paste it in the Explorer8's address bar.
2- If you don't have all the drives and the drive in which the documents library folder is available is not in the available drives, use the same method you described (pressing the + icon) and navigate to the document library's folder (not the library itself).
Let me know if further help is needed.
