Luigi Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 There is no link anymore under the Usermenu > Help > Documentation that is sending you to the ftrack docs. We would prefer to have back the offline version, since our artists are working without an internet connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattias Lagergren Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi Luigi, I'm afraid that this is true - we're moving the documentation online to make it easier for us to maintain it and keep it up to date with new material / user guides.

Remus Avram Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi @Mattias Lagergren the offline documentation was awesome for the production and artists as they could find it easily. Unfortunately, our users don't have direct internet connection and they can not easily access it. Another think is that we are not migrating to the latest version all the time. Especially when we are close to a show deadline. In this way, if there are new features which production is interested in, but they are not in the Ftrack version used in production, then it could create confusion.

Mattias Lagergren Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hi Remus and thank you for the feedback - I will raise this internally and make sure the team is aware of your concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pengelly-Phillips Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 We are also surprised at the change to the documentation, especially as it also removes the versioned docs. Versioned docs are important to us as we may run several releases behind latest for stability and we can't have users constantly confused by references to features they don't have access to. Similarly, offline docs is nice to have. Finally, there seem to be no release notes in the new docs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Avram Posted February 14, 2018 Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 It still missing in version 3.5.20. Any plans to add it back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are currently no plans to add it back. We've switched technology to make it easier for our non-technical staff to update and improve the documentation. We hope that this will accelerate our efforts to provide better documentation, tutorial and guides - as well as reduce the scattering of the documentation. I will send you a message with a wget command that can be used to download the documentation from our website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pengelly-Phillips Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Can you also improve the navigation for the new documentation - it's quite easy to get lost with lots of links and open tabs at present. Perhaps just adding Next, Previous buttons would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Pengelly-Phillips Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 In addition, we currently link (via intersphinx references) to the ftrack documentation from our own internal documentation. Often this is to specific sections. How do we link to specific sections in the new documentation? Currently it only seems possible to link to whole articles.

Remus Avram Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 The new documentation also doesn't have a content on the left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
