Introducing support for version-only projects¶

URLs are an important part of your documentation. Users can infer from the URL if your documentation has or supports multiple versions or translations.

Until now, Read the Docs allowed you to configure your project in two ways:

Multiple versions with translations

Resulting in URLs like:

• /en/latest/index.html

• /es/latest/index.html

• /en/1.0/index.html

Single version without translations

Resulting in URLs like:

• /index.html

• /api/v3.html

While not all projects have or require translations, many benefit from having multiple versions. This meant that projects without translations but with need for multiple versions, had to opt into supporting translations in order to have multiple versions.

We’re excited to announce that we now support projects with multiple versions without translations. Resulting in URLs like:

• /latest/index.html

• /1.0/index.html

Now instead of having a Single version checkbox in the Admin page of your project, you’ll see a Versioning scheme dropdown with three options available.
