Hi Creators,
We’re excited to highlight some recent, significant updates to our documentation site designed to help you find the information you need more quickly and efficiently. These changes, rolled out over the past few months, are a direct result of your valuable feedback. Our goal is to make navigating our resources as intuitive as possible, so you can spend more time building.
Enhanced Search Capabilities
We’ve focused on refining the docs site search functionality to ensure you can pinpoint exactly what you’re looking for with ease. We heard your ask about finding API reference pages when searching for their exact or near-exact name, and we’ve made adjustments to the search result ranking that should make these critical resources easier to find.
There’s more content available in search, as it can now find Cloud v2 APIs, feature announcements, and Staff articles in the Forum, and videos from our growing catalog on the Roblox Learn channel.
We’ve also reintroduced result type filters, allowing you to narrow down your search results by format. Whether you’re looking for guides, references, or announcements, these filters will help you get to the relevant content faster.
Improved Engine API Reference Navigation
Navigating the Engine API Reference is now more streamlined than ever. The left-hand sidebar can now be filtered by simply typing into the input box at the top, providing quick navigation to specific classes or functions.
To help you better understand the relationships between different components, the left-hand sidebar now also displays the class inheritance hierarchy. This visual representation makes it easier to visualize relationships and find related pages, saving you time and effort when exploring APIs.
Reorganized Information Architecture
To make browsing for relevant guides and information more intuitive, we’ve reorganized our documentation into three main sections: Create, Scale, and Monetize. This new structure is designed to align with your journey as creators, helping you quickly find the information relevant to your current goals, whether you’re just starting out, optimizing for growth, or exploring monetization strategies.
What’s Next
We’re continuously working to improve our documentation and your overall experience. In the future, you can expect further refinements to our search capabilities, more interactive elements within our API references, and adjustments to our landing page.
Our vision is to provide a documentation site that continues to unblock and inspire you to create anything you can imagine. Please share any feedback with us below!
Thank you.
