# What's new?

With IDA 9.0, we changed how the Hex-Rays documentation is organized and added new guides and tutorials to kickstart your IDA journey and ease the migration from previous IDA versions.

## New Structure

Our docs are divided into three main categories:

* [**User Guide**](/9.0/user-guide.md), dedicated to individual users and covering whole IDA products (including add-ons, like Teams and Lumina). Most of the documentation regarding IDA, like manuals or tutorials, is currently accessible under the User Guide.
* [**Developer Guide**](/9.0/developer-guide.md), which focuses on developer's needs, covers the reference and contextual documentation for **IDAPython API** and **C++ SDK**, as well as native **IDC** language. This part is mainly dedicated to plugin authors and devs interested in enhancing basic IDA capabilities with our development kit or scripting.
* [**Admin Guide**](/9.0/admin-guide.md) mainly focuses on administrators installing and managing servers for Teams and Lumina or floating licenses.

In [**Archive**](/9.0/archive.md), we gathered docs with rather historical value that some of you may still find interesting but focused on previous versions of IDA.

## New Getting Started Guides

We prepared a [Getting Started](/9.0/getting-started.md) section for IDA newbies and also gathered additional materials to help you find your way around our [IDAPython API](/9.0/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-getting-started.md) or [IDA SDK](/9.0/developer-guide/c++-sdk/c++-sdk-getting-started.md).

## Migration and Porting Guides

For those familiar with previous versions of IDA, we prepared Porting Guides for [IDAPython](/9.0/developer-guide/idapython/idapython-porting-guide-ida-9.md) and [C++ SDK](/9.0/developer-guide/c++-sdk/c++-sdk-porting-guide-ida-9.md). If you use the Flexera server for floating licenses, check our [Migration Guide for new Hex-Rays license server](/9.0/admin-guide/license-server/hex-rays-license-server-migration-guide.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/9.0/readme/whats-new.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
