Absences of family members of settled person

My wife & son joined me in the UK 5 years ago on a family visa (family member of settled person). In the past 5 years, we had a number of trips to our home country staying for 4-6 weeks each time. In the application for ILR, what evidence should we provide for these absences?

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... -v18.0.pdf isn't very clear on this. It says Appendix W dependants do not need t o give a reason for absences but what is Appendix W dependant?

You need to stop reading the link and document you have posted, it does NOT apply to your dependents. It applies to a completely different visa category with completely different rules.
