Feature Compatibility

We're continuing to release new features for Refactored as we work toward full feature parity, and keep this table updated to notify you of all new updates and improvements. If a feature that you use isn't currently available on the Refactored experience, rest assured that it'll be available soon!

Alternative Solutions

If you're currently using features that aren't supported in the new experience, our support team can help you transition to supported alternatives. Please reach out to our support team for assistance in planning your migration strategy.

Migrating On Your Own

If you're currently using any features listed below, your project is not quite ready to migrate. While we're working to build these feature, you can join our waitlist from the migration page accessible through your project's home page.

• Manual Editor
• AWS Gateway Plugin

If you're not using the features mentioned above, you may be eligible for immediate migration! To kick off the process, click on the "Get New Experience" button from your project's Home page and follow the instructions on the following screens.

⚠️ Before You Migrate

A few things to prepare for:

• Most projects migrate in around 10 minutes, but the process may take up to 2 hours depending on the size of your project.
• Your project dashboard will be temporarily disabled, but your docs will remain live and accessible during the entire process.
• This update contains breaking changes to our CLI (rdme) and API.
• Suggested Edits is not supported on Refactored. You will lose access to viewing and merging any existing Suggested Edits.
• This is a non-reversible process. Once you migrate to the new editing experience, you cannot revert to the previous version.
• Your entire project is being migrated to a Git-backed system.
• You can contact [email protected] if you have any questions.
