No new releases on AWX repo on github for a while now. No important bugs being fixed. Lets call this the IBM effect. ---

I was also wondering where the documents disappeared… ---

[Streamlining AWX Releases](http://forum.ansible.com/t/streamlining-awx-releases/6894) This seems to be what’s going on. I’m sure IBM has some part in it but it also seems like they are focusing on an actual problem they want to solve. ---

@gundalow , Could you help shed some light on this? It’s quite concerning ---

This site has been intentionally removed in the following PR with the explanation, “Removed user docs with UI-focus from AWX as part of the AWX modernization efforts.” > > > \##### SUMMARY > Removed user docs with UI-focus from AWX as part of the AWX moder…nization efforts. > > \##### ISSUE TYPE > - Bug, Docs Fix or other nominal change > > \##### COMPONENT NAME > - Docs > > \##### AWX VERSION > latest On the other hand, this is a page for the latest version where the ongoing changes in development are always reflected, so the versioned latest documentation can be checked at the following URL [https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/index.html](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/index.html) I understand that the AWX UI is expected to change significantly, but I hope that sufficient user documentation, similar to the deleted documents, will be released when the new AWX is launched. ---

Hi folks, I know the 404 page is concerning (I’ll see if we can improve that) We now have versioned docs So the page is now [https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/projects.html](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/awx/en/24.6.1/userguide/projects.html) Notice the `/24.6.1/` (instead of `/latest/`) in the URL ---

I’m sorry that I missed this when we resumed publish the AWX docs. ~~Looks like ReadTheDocs (which we use for our upstream docs) does support custom 404 pages, I’ve raised an issue to get this sorted. I’ll work with Engineering to get this prioritized, we might be able to setup some redirects. I’m not sure how I missed this, so thank you for pinging me directly on this issue.~~ [PR in flight](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/15668) For context, we moved to [Read The Docs for AWX](https://github.com/ansible/awx/pull/14328) about a year ago For more context on the rearchitecture, please take a look at this forum posts. There are real problems with how AWX has grown over the past decade, and we at Red Hat are investing a lot of time to improve the architecture These links go into more details about the re-architecture work: - [Streamlining AWX Releases](http://forum.ansible.com/t/streamlining-awx-releases/6894) - [Refactoring AWX into a Pluggable, Service-Oriented Architecture](http://forum.ansible.com/t/refactoring-awx-into-a-pluggable-service-oriented-architecture/7404) - [Upcoming changes to AWX Operator installation methods](http://forum.ansible.com/t/upcoming-changes-to-awx-operator-installation-methods/7598) - [AWX UI and credential types transitioning to the new pluggable architecture](http://forum.ansible.com/t/awx-ui-and-credential-types-transitioning-to-the-new-pluggable-architecture/8027) ---

Awesome, thank you for confirming @gundalow! That’s great that we have versioned documentation. I guess google is indexing first the latest doc since it receives most of the clicks. \*Apologies if the tone sounded adversarial, not my intention at all ---
