Hi all,
Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday. I'm wondering what you do for
products that have online help and different software versions. We are
thinking we need versions, as in website.com/3.1, and so on, but I don't
think I've ever seen a release in a URL? How is this done at other
companies?
The concern is that the users with older products will go find online help
and it will be unhelpful since it's not related to their version, if we
only put the latest up.
Thanks,
Hannah
