Release notes
This page lists all the Strapi Docs version numbers and their corresponding updates.
Strapi Docs version numbers explained:
The Strapi Documentation (Strapi Docs) at docs.strapi.io always documents the latest version of Strapi (CMS and Cloud) products.
Since Strapi Docs version 5.0.0, the docs' version number is independent from the Strapi product version. Thus, the version numbers of strapi/documentation and strapi/strapi may differ.
Strapi Docs now follow the semantic versioning philosophy, but adapted to docs:
- Major version (6.0.0, 7.0.0β¦): A significant rewrite of the docs (content or framework). This may impact the user experience, redesign the site, or break old links (redirections are handled, but broken links can be reported).
- Minor version (5.1.0, 5.2.0β¦): New Strapi features or improvements to the docs (e.g., new components or tools).
- Patch version (5.1.1, 5.1.2β¦): Content updates, including improvement or extension of existing pages, code examples fixes, and typos.
New versions (minor or patch) are generally released weekly, on Wednesdays.

Version 6.0.0 of Strapi Docs is the biggest rewrite of documentation to date!
This release includes:
- Merge of Dev Docs & User Guide: You now have one documentation per Strapi product: CMS and Cloud.
- New Features section & pages: Everything feature-related is in the new βFeaturesβ section of the CMS doc's navigation and each feature is now fully documented in one page.
- Simplified navigation: Many users reported frustration because of the too many levels and inconsistent behaviours in the navigationβboth issues have been fixed and the navigation design has been improved for better readability.
- More visuals throughout the docs: We're slowly adding new interactive demos in pages to offer another way to learn about Strapi. Check out Admin Panel, Content Manager, and Content-type Builder pages to try the demos!
Feel free to share your feedback!
