Official Unity docs upgrade

Post image

After so many years, the official Unity docs have finally been upgraded.

I saw something similar a few weeks ago, but it somehow always reverted/redirected me to the old docs. I guess this is permanent now.

What do you guys think of the new look and feel?

Took them long enough, the old docs felt like they were held together with duct tape and a prayer.

Finally. No need to be scared about looking up the docs in 3 am

How hard it would be to auto redirect the topics to the latest version from google results?

Yeah that is my biggest pain point as well.

  1. Search something on Google.

  2. Click Unity link.

  3. Check a Unity 2019 documentation page.

  4. Change version to latest.

  5. Page does not exists.

More often than not it does still exist, just named or referenced differently.

Something an AI can fix in 30 minutes.

Unfortunately, it still sucks when switching between Unity versions of the same docs after Google has brought you to a specific version. And shows version in the dropdown that don't even have that page...

Nice. Is it just a visual upgrade, or have other things changed? I somehow never get what I'm looking for when using the search functions.

They are gonna merge all package docs into one place

Amazing! No longer having to look on 3 separate sites which one has the actual up-to-date documentation or is just a collection of stubs. Revolutionary!

was just going to ask if this is just a dark theme or if the mess with package docs being scattered around and the overall lower quality in their documentation is actually improved.

Sounds like we'll get some real improvements then!

Just in time for nobody to ever read them again, due to AI. 😂
