include version number in documentation of features
Hello again! Since we are on an older version of structure (3.3.4), it would be nice for the documentation pages for various features to include the version that they were introduced in.
For example, I searched for how to create my own "Quick Transformations", and found the page https://wiki.almworks.com/display/structure/Quick+Transformations that describes exactly what I want to do. But the buttons don't exist in my UI. I eventually found the release notes and saw that the feature wasn't introduced until 3.4.
thanks!

Hi Mackenzie,
I'm sorry that you had this bad experience with our documentation.
Actually, we do have snapshots of the older documentation. If you take a look at the top of any documentation page, it should say something like "this is for version 4.5" (sorry, we probably should have made it more prominent), and there's a link to documentation index: https://wiki.almworks.com/display/docs/Structure+Documentation -- from there, you can navigate to Structure documentation for version 3.3.
As for your suggestion to label each feature with a version tag, I'd love to do that, but it's practically impossible or unreasonably hard. Consider the fact that typically a feature is introduced in one version, and gets improved over time in multiple following versions. A single page describing that feature in its last incarnation, in a colloquial style, might need to have this version tag per sentence.
So I hope that the documentation snapshot will be sufficient! I'm going to close this idea as "rejected" -- sorry about that language from UserVoice :) Please do continue posting ideas as they appear.
Kind regards,
Igor
