Docs has been rebuilt and renamed. Everything you had is still there. The changes are in what you can now do with it.
The main change
Docs only worked inside your community. Anything you wrote was invisible until someone signed up, which meant your best explanation of what you do was locked behind the decision to join.
A Resource can be published to the open web, gated behind an email address, or sold, without the reader having an account. Content that used to sit behind the login can now be what brings people in.
What is different
| Before | Now |
|---|---|
| Docs | Resources |
| Sections | Folders, inside a Resource |
| Documents nested inside documents | Resource → Folder → Document, one level of folders |
| Permissions on individual documents | Access set on the Resource, all-or-nothing |
| Community-only | Community, public, or both |
| No pricing | Free, email-gated, or paid |
| No such thing as a non-member contact | Leads |
What happened to your content
Your sections became Resources, and the documents inside them came with them. Nothing was deleted and nothing changed hands.
Your existing links still work. Documents have a new address, but old links redirect to it, so anything you pinned in a channel, put in an onboarding flow, or sent by email keeps working.
What to do first
- Look through your Resources and check everything reads the way you expect.
- Pick one thing you have already written that a stranger would find useful, such as a getting-started guide, a how-we-work explanation, or a reference, and publish it publicly. It costs nothing and it is the first thing of yours someone can read without signing up.
- If you have something worth an email address, publish that one with email capture. See Lead magnets.
