Has anyone else noticed the documentation website has changed?

None of the old pages work anymore, everything leads to a 404 page. These links still show up in google when searching for Ignition documentation, but none work.

Today is February 15. The announced switchover day. You _ **were** _ using the old docs yesterday. 😁

Ahh!

The old user manual links being broken is pretty unfortunate given how often we linked to the user manual here in the forum.

I missed this announcement, then. 😅

It would be nice to have access to the legacy docs, but c’est la vie.

New interface and search function are fantastic, though!

I legitimately have muscle memory for looking up system calls or tag properties in the old webpages that will need to be retrained...

I like the new interface, I just can't navigate it without looking (yet).
