Hi @ferdinand ,

Love the style of new documents, and finally we can search the name for icons! But can we get the menu back, or add a "Back to Top", now it is not user friendly to navigation.

Hey @Dunhou,

Regarding the side bar table of contents. I will enable this again in the next release. This was an oversight. Because I investigated the broken TOC trees in the c4d module and then realized how broken things are and stopped going further (and apparently forgot to enable some stuff). The TOC trees in Manuals and maxon API modules will work fine.
I am not quite sure with what you mean with "top"? Do you mean a floater which transports you to the top of the page? That should have been long disabled. Could you show us what you mean with an older version of the docs?

But what I can see also in your screen, is that the version menu is not populated. This is the caching which is forcibly injected into our site. It will rectify itself after 24 hours as the caches then go stale. I will talk with our IT about this. In the mean time, you could press CTRL + F5 once to force the browser refreshing its cache, or just wait 24 hours.

Cheers,
Ferdinand

Hi @ferdinand ,

Side bar table will be great, and yes, I mean to button bring us to the top, but if we have a side bar, this is not needed an more.

And I had refresh my cache now, thanks for your tips
