Version channels
How living vs versioned publishing affects Atlas documentation URLs.
Atlas documentation is published as immutable releases. Public readers select a major channel such as
2.x or 3.x. The current channel appears at the site root; historical channels use a /versions/{channel} prefix.Channel behavior
| Mode | Public URL | When to use |
|---|---|---|
| Living | /quickstart | Always-current product docs |
| Versioned current | /quickstart | Latest major channel tip |
| Versioned historical | /versions/2.x/quickstart | Support older installs |
Publishing tips
- Draft freely — revisions do not change published snapshots.
- Publish a production release when the channel tip should advance.
- Use review releases for staging sign-off before promotion.
Info
Backporting a 2.x fix does not replace the current 3.x tip. Each major channel tracks its own latest release.
