Maybe "Previous documentation versions” would be more explicit as to what the user would find here. But maybe the nav title is more important in guiding users to this page.

By the way, is hiding this page from the dropdown navigation on purpose?

This page will not be accessible form the navigation.

It will be accessed through the landing page or the new (soon released) version dropdown.

Yes, I saw that the link on the landing page navigated to this page. Then I saw it was highlighted in the navigation, and my expectation was that I'd able to get back to it later. But once I had started browsing the docs in the dropdown, I thought, how the heck am I going to get back to this page? So it makes sense to remove it from the nav 👍 I’m curious about the new version dropdown:)

You can actually see it in our edge environment.

Oh cool, looks awesome! One thing though - maybe the link to this page in the new dropdown should also be “View other versions” instead of “View all versions”.

To match the short description, Previous documentation versions makes sense.

Good catch on the version dropdown!

@reakaleek is View other versions going to be too long?

previous is a little ambiguous, because eventually the v3 docs will contain multiples, including versions released in the "past".

Suggested change
Review the Elastic documentation for previous product releases.
In April 2025, we released our new documentation site. This site includes documentation for our latest product versions, including {{stack}} 9.0+ and {{serverless-full}}.
To review the product versions covered on elastic.co/docs, refer to [Find docs for your product version](/get-started/versioning-availability.md#find-docs-for-your-product-version).
To access our previous documentation system, which contains the documentation for older releases including {{stack}} 8.x, use the following links.

having written this comment, I'm wondering if this info should be integrated into the other page instead? wdyt @KOTungseth
