Summary

This page exists so the docs can acknowledge route and navigation churn without teaching users the wrong long-term product story. The most important rule is simple: if a route is legacy or transitional, the docs should explain where the product is heading instead of over-optimizing around yesterday’s menu structure.

Who this is for

Readers who need a fast lookup rather than a narrative guide.

Current legacy or transitional patterns to watch

Transitional or legacy surfaceHow to document it
Dedicated emails routesTreat as implementation detail or transitional surface. Prefer the unified Communications story in user-facing docs.
Dedicated messages routesTreat as transitional. Prefer Communications with channel-specific filtering or explanation.
Dedicated calls or calls-old patternsAcknowledge only where needed for historical context. Do not imply this is the long-term top-level model.
Channel-specific menu groupings from older navigationUse channel pages to explain differences, but keep the operating model unified.

Stable documentation anchors

When routes or menu labels move, prefer these stable product concepts:
  • Communications for day-to-day channel operations
  • Campaigns for reusable outreach definitions and runs
  • Contacts and Data Sources for audience and import workflows
  • Analytics and Public Reports for reporting behavior
  • Settings for account and infrastructure setup

Documentation rule of thumb

If you have to choose between:
  1. documenting the exact current route name
  2. documenting the stable user mental model
prefer the stable user mental model unless the route name itself is critical to completing a task.

Simple version

  • old routes can exist for a while
  • docs should still teach the future-facing product shape
  • for TruAgents, that especially means keeping Communications central
