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, 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, 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 mainly focuses on administrators installing and managing servers for Teams and Lumina or floating licenses.

In Archive, 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 section for IDA newbies and also gathered additional materials to help you find your way around our IDAPython API or IDA SDK.

Migration and Porting Guides

For those familiar with previous versions of IDA, we prepared Porting Guides for IDAPython and C++ SDK. If you use the Flexera server for floating licenses, check our Migration Guide for new Hex-Rays license server.
