XC 10 - Tip #7: When the docs fails - Google

Ok, a bit of an obvious one: if you need an answer, you Google. But if you hit a Sitecore documentation page in most cases you land on the wrong version of the documentation. And the only way to switch: modify the URL.

For example, if you search for PolicyTriggerConditionalPipelineBlock and select the link to the Sitecore documentation, you will end up on:

And as you can see, you land on the documentation page for version 9.3, while I'm working on a Sitecore Commerce 10 implementation. The only way to switch: change the URL by replacing 93 with 100. And switching is important, because some features are not available in another version, or there are subtle differences.

This is especially annoying when searching on mobile because changing the URL is not that easy. And I search a lot on mobile. There is a drop-down box to go to other documentation for the current version, so why not place a drop-down to switch the Sitecore version for the current page?! Should not be that hard to create a switcher using tools like RWeb, but that will not work on mobile where I need it the most.
