Default bleeding clutch

I need to change clutch fluid and I remember saw someone posted we don't need to bleed the clutch. Just empty the clutch fluid, clean the inside and refill the DOT 3 brake fluid. Is that correct? Or I better bleed the clutch?

If you clean it out you should go ahead and bleed the clutch. Here is a good write up on it.

You really should have someone pump the clutch pedal. It
