This listed support article is not accurate for macOS 10.14.8. I don't see a Media Sharing option in the Sharing Pref Pane.

This support article is not accurate for macOS 10.14.8. I don't see a Media Sharing option in the Sharing Pref Pane. Where do I enable Home Sharing in macOS 10.14.8?

From the link above:

Set up Home Sharing

Before you can use Home Sharing, you need to set it up on your Mac or PC.

How to set up Home Sharing on your Mac

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences.
Click Sharing.
Click Media Sharing. (This item doesn't exist in my Sharing pane)
Select Home Sharing and sign in with your Apple ID. Use the same Apple ID for every computer or device on your Home Sharing network.
Click Turn On Home Sharing.

I get stuck at step 3 above because there's no Media Sharing option there in my Sharing Pref Pane under macOS 10.14.8. See the screenshot below:

Thanks for the response! That is the *correct* answer to the question: "How do I enable Home Sharing on macOS 10.14.8?" The issue I hope Apple resolves is, the referenced support document is not correct and needs to be updated to reflect this:

I appreciate the response very much though. I'm now able to control my iTunes Library from the iOS Remote app, after enabling Home Sharing from iTunes File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
