About the Forescout Documentation Portal
Hello!
Maybe you've noticed that the documentation portal looks, feels, and navigates differently than before. We've streamlined and updated our portal so it's easier to use, easier to search, and delivers a more straightforward user experience.
We believe that our documentation and doc portal play an integral role in the overall usability of our products. We're committed to an ongoing investment in our documentation portal. Watch this space for updates as we continue to make improvements in the coming months.
| Improvement | Description | Date |
|---|---|---|
| TOP button | As you scroll down longer topics, a Top button is displayed. This provides you with a more convenient way to jump back to the top of the page. | September, 2026 |
| On this page | A side panel called On this page is added to the right side of topics. This displays links to sections on a page and allows you to more easily navigate larger topics. | September, 2026 |
| Bookmark link | You can now capture links to specific sections of interest within a page. | September, 2026 |
| Read time | The estimated read time for a topic is displayed at the top of the page. | September, 2026 |

| Search bar | Previously, the bottom edge of search bar frame was broken and misaligned. This issue is fixed. | September, 2026 |
| Top page navigation menu | Useful links to other Forescout sites are now found under the new Additional Resources drop-down menu located in the page header. These links were previously displayed in the footer. | September, 2026 |
| Search functionality | Our site is now fully indexed and in-portal search functionality is improved. This improvement includes a broader, public search functionality. | September, 2026 |
| Every guide is the latest-and-greatest | You never have to guess which version is the most up-to-date. The pages here reflect the most recent version of the product. When you search something, the results will always pull for the latest version as well. | June, 2026 |
| Static URLs |
Our URLs are now static, which means you don't have to worry about links breaking between software versions. All links to previous or older content are now broken, as we have had to republish all of our content for our new format. While many of our most frequently accessed guides have URL redirects, many of our links do not. We apologize for the inconvenience while we reestablish those links. |
June, 2026 |
| PDF Copies | Every guide has a new PDF Copies and Past Versions topic in the About section that lists out several past versions of that product's help guide(s). You can open and download the current or previous version PDFs at any time. | June, 2026 |
