Identify Your ReadMe Version and Plan
We’ve recently introduced ReadMe Refactored, a redesigned and re-architected version of ReadMe. This update brings a modern editing experience, Git-based workflows including branching, and MDX custom components.
If you’re editing docs from dash.readme.com (in your address bar)—you’re on the legacy version of ReadMe.
Your Plan
- Self-serve: If you manage 1 project, or projects individually.
- Enterprise: If you have access to an Enterprise dashboard or you’re using enterprise features like SSO.
Still not sure? Reach out to our team and we’ll help you out!
What’s next?
If you’re on a legacy project, you can migrate to Refactored. Watch a demo of the new ReadMe (4 min).
ReadMe Refactored Project
Refactored projects have an admin bar at the top. This is how you’ll access Settings, Versions and Branches, View, Edit, My Developers, and AI.

Legacy Project
Legacy project docs are edited from the dashboard at dash.readme.com.
