MkDocs, Material for MkDocs and Zensical, including maintenance status and migration options.
View All TagsMost comparisons of Docusaurus, MkDocs and GitBook are written for developer documentation: API references, SDK guides, versioned technical manuals. A customer help center has different requirements. The people writing it are often support agents rather than engineers, the readers arrive from search with a problem, and the site has to hand off to a human when the article is not enough. This comparison is written for that case.
If your documentation runs on Material for MkDocs, nothing broke when the project entered maintenance mode, and nothing will break on the day support ends. What changes is who carries the risk. Every Python upgrade, dependency advisory and browser change after that date lands on your team, with no upstream fix coming. That makes this a planning decision, not an emergency, and the right time to make it is while the maintainers are still shipping security fixes.
