Documenting lifecycle stages of products, features, and APIs

Avoid using time-sensitive language to refer to the current or future state of products, features, and APIs. For more information about documenting current and future states of the product, refer to Past, present, and future tense.

Use the following guidelines to label products, packages, APIs, and other functionality that are still in development, no longer supported, or not recommended.

📄️ Features still in development

Use the following guidelines to refer to products, features, and APIs that are experimental, pre-release, or in beta.

📄️ Deprecated, obsolete, and unsupported features

Use the following guidelines to refer to products, packages, and APIs that are no longer supported or not recommended.

📄️ Rebranded products or features

Use the following guidelines to refer to products, features, or packages that have changed names. Which approach you use depends on whether the documentation has also changed locations.
