New UiPath Documentation portal has such bad UI, missing title for current topic

Hi there. Just reporting a horrible UI / UX issue.

https://docs.uipath.com/activities/other/latest/user-guide/release-notes-uipath-system-activities#v22104

On this page, the title is missing on the document page. On all document pages. I barely know what documentation page I am on. Why did you move away from the old documentation system? That worked fine. The new documentation kind of sucks, but it sucks even more because I barely know what page I’m on.

Hoping this can be fixed soon because it’s really annoying.

See image for missing info.

I am also finding that the responsiveness of the web page also makes the site much harder to navigate when a window is set up in portrait style for ease of reading.
Smaller/Portrait Style Window:

16:9 Style Window:

I do wish the header did not take up so much space, but with the navigation pane being gone in portrait mode this makes the documentation portal difficult to use and can change people’s workflow quite a bit, for those not expecting it.

Good points! I really liked the last documentation portal, it worked pretty well. I’m sure the new one can be modified to be just as good, but we need improvements.

Like one other missing feature is the “Last updated” note at the bottom. It was helpful because you could know if it was an old article, or if it was updated to match the most recent changes with activities, etc.

Hi. Thank you for your feedback.
You are absolutely right. This is not the experience we want for our users.
The new documentation portal will be in General Availability at the end of the month. In the meantime, you will still see some instability or incomplete functionality. We’re aware of the issues and are working on fixing them fast.
You will be seeing changes every few days.
We apologize for the trouble this is causing.
