MicroProfiler is constantly running, analyizing the render time for every frame. To see useful data, you need to pause MircoProfiler and analyze render information on a frame-by-frame basis. Press Ctrl+P to pause the MicroProfiler.

Typo alert!

Thank you for this report! AnalyticsService is deprecated, I’d recommend using the Analytics Dashboard :slight_smile:

Don’t know if this belongs here since it’s not a grammar issue but rather a single word being copy + pasted from the wrong function, while it does change the meaning of the sentence, common sense would make any developer doubt this behaviour

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/AvatarEditorService#PromptRenameOutfit

PromptRenameOutfit says the following:

Prompts the Players.LocalPlayer to delete the given outfit. Does not yield. The result can be retrieved by listening to the AvatarEditorService.PromptRenameOutfitCompleted event.

This function states that it deletes the outfit like PromptDeleteOutfit but this is not true, it should be changed to the following:

Prompts the Players.LocalPlayer to rename the given outfit. Does not yield. The result can be retrieved by listening to the AvatarEditorService.PromptRenameOutfitCompleted event.

Page link: Highlight | Roblox Creator Documentation

IMPORTANT: As a performance limit, Studio only displays 31 simultaneous Highlight instances on the client at a time. If you exceed this limit, the additional instances are silently ignored. While a disabled Highlight doesn’t display, it still takes one of the 31 available Highlight slots. If you plan to permanently disable a Highlight instance, it’s best to delete the highlight rather than disable it.

For low-end devices, Studio uses a fallback version that doesn’t have high performance overheads. This version doesn’t have the outline effect; instead, it creates an interior fill with a checker pattern to emulate the FillTransparency property.

The documentation incorrectly refers to the Roblox game-client as “Studio”, it should instead be edited to the following:

IMPORTANT: As a performance limit, Studio and the client only display 31 simultaneous Highlight instances at a time. If you exceed this limit, the additional instances are silently ignored. While a disabled Highlight doesn’t display, it still takes one of the 31 available Highlight slots. If you plan to permanently disable a Highlight instance, it’s best to delete the highlight rather than disable it.

For low-end devices, the client uses a fallback version that doesn’t have high performance overheads. This version doesn’t have the outline effect; instead, it creates an interior fill with a checker pattern to emulate the FillTransparency property.

Also, the image below the text needs to be made bigger as at it’s current resolution the effect it is trying to display cannot be seen.

I genuinely just started looking for a typo, and I found it in less than 10 seconds:

The PhysicsSettings is a singleton class, which lets developers view debugging features in Roblox’s physics engine.It can be found under the Physics tab in Roblox Studio’s settings menu.

You missed a space!

Under the scopes section of the data store guide, “if key ``User_1234` has a scope of gold” is missing a grave accent for proper formatting.

Thank you very much for going through and calling this to attention. You should see the updates for all of these issues very soon!

If I’m not mistaken, there’s also a run-on sentence here. A period should go after keyname.


Issue: Inconsistency among “void” return type:



“void | No return.” is not consistent with “void”.

Found this on the Dashboard place configuration.


“Private servers cannot require Robux payment”, yet when clicking the “learn more” button the description of private servers still states otherwise below. I believe it’s supposed to say something like you can’t enable Paid Access and Private Servers together.

There is “Deprecated. Use TestService instead” in the description when there is a message saying “FunctionalTest has been deprecated, developers are advised to use TestService instead.”
