Does anyone know what the differences (consequences) are between "Self deportation" and "Voluntary departure"?

I've heard that simply leaving the country without documentation amounts to self deportation, and triggers some of the same consequences as court ordered deportation, but there's no solid advice that I've found to help people navigate the complexities.

What is the right way to document any departure so that ICE or the courts know it has occurred?
