Odd that they didn't also cover md5, yes it's not as secure and accurate but still heavily used.

I always save my hashes to a file so I can use the -C option to give me a simple yes/no answer, although usually when there is a SHASUM file it has many hashes for the different architectures or DE versions so have to be edited to remove the unwanted ones, I also rename then to the same name as the iso but with a sha256sum suffix (or md5 or whatever) to keep them listed together when looking through the filesystem.
