The Umbraco Documentation is versioned based on major versions of the Umbraco CMS. Learn more about how that works in this article.
The Umbraco Documentation covers multiple versions of multiple different products. This article explains how we version the documentation as well as how to use it when reading the documentation.
The major version of Umbraco CMS is currently used for versioning the documentation for the following Umbraco products:
The Umbraco CMS
Umbraco Forms
Umbraco Deploy
Umbraco Workflow
Umbraco Commerce
Umbraco UI Builder
The documentation for Umbraco Cloud and Umbraco Heartcore is not following the CMS versioning as these are both Software as a Service (SaaS) projects.
The Umbraco Documentation covers all supported versions of the Umbraco CMS as well as the official Umbraco add-ons. For each supported major version of Umbraco CMS, a version of the documentation for CMS and the add-ons exists.
The documentation for each Umbraco product will always document the latest minor version of the current major version.
When an RC for a new major version of an Umbraco product is released, a new version of that documentation will be available. When the major version is released, the documentation for it will be the new default version of the Umbraco Documentation.
The Umbraco Documentation follows the LTS and EOL strategies outlined for the Umbraco CMS.
This means that the Umbraco Documentation will cover each major version of the Umbraco product until they are EOL. After a major version is EOL the documentation for that version will be unpublished after 1 month extended to 3 months for LTS versions.
Unpublished versions of the Umbraco Documentation will continue to be available from GitHub.
We reserve the right to change the strategy for EOL versions. This is due to the fact that we want to thoroughly test the process before making a decision.
The Umbraco Documentation is synchronized with a GitHub repository, UmbracoDocs, which is open source. Read the Contribution documentation to learn more about contributions and how to get started.
The main branch on the repository holds all versions of the documentation for all Umbraco products, including Cloud and Heartcore. A directory exists for each published major version of Umbraco CMS, under which you can find the corresponding documentation for each Umbraco product.
Documentation for Umbraco 8 and earlier versions are gathered in a single branch, legacy-docs. These versions are live on a different site: Our.
