"there's no new information in it."

Well, with the exception of the "copper scroll" (which was possibly a listing of the contents of the First Temple), there wasn't much "new" information in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

What they did was confirm that our current Bible is --- nigh word-for-word --- the same as then, despite all that hand copying by scribes.

This (presumably) will do much the same, in an interim sense.

Well, there was a bunch of information on the group that hid them.."Essenes"?
