title: In-app documentation
description: Explains the removal of the DataRobot in-app documentation.

---

# In-app documentation removal {: #In-app-documentation-removal }

The documentation available from within the application will be removed, with the execution date-dependent on whether you are a SaaS or self-managed user (see below). Instead of in-app docs, users will be pointed from the application to the public docs portal. The portal, launched in August 2021, provides a better user experience, including:

* An improved search experience.
* The ability for DataRobot to provide updates and corrections immediately instead of waiting for the weekly application deployment.
* The public site provides quick answers from anywhere (no login needed).
* The public site allows you to share links with non-DataRobot users.

There is no action required unless you have bookmarks to in-app documentation.

!!! note
	This change will not impact the model documentation accessed from the [model blueprint](blueprints) (`/model-docs`) or the [Python](https://datarobot-public-api-client.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest-release/){ target=_blank } or [R](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/datarobot/datarobot.pdf) client documentation available from `ReadTheDocs` and `CRAN`, respectively.

=== "Managed AI Platform (SaaS)"
	
	As of December 19, 2023, in-app documentation available from `app.datarobot.com/docs` will be removed from the product. Links in the application will instead point to the [public documentation site](https://docs.datarobot.com/){ target=_blank }. There is no action required unless you have bookmarks to in-app documentation.




=== "Self-Managed AI Platform"
	
	For self-managed (on-premise) users, there will be a version-specific public docs portal made available when the removal goes into effect (e.g., `https://9p2.docs.datarobot.com/`). The default self-managed installation configuration will point to this portal. For air-gapped installations:
	
	* If you have access to the Internet, DataRobot will provide your IT department the domain to add to the accepted list. 
	* For the small subset of users who do not have Internet access, DataRobot will provide a local version of the docs portal as part of DataRobot installation, and documentation will be accessible via in-app URLs. Note that in this configuration search will not be available as it is provided via a Cloud-based tool.
