Making the "sections" feature available in sponsored site plan.

[garronej]

Hello GitBook team,

I'm currently considering moving some of my GitBook sites from the Ultimate plan to the Sponsored plan in order to generate some revenue from traffic.

However, there's a crucial feature missing from the Sponsored plan: support for "sections."

I understand the strategy of encouraging users to upgrade, but in this case, it doesn't quite make sense. I already have access to the Ultimate plan—I specifically want to downgrade to the Sponsored plan, but I can't do so without compromising the quality of my documentation.

That’s a shame :(

Thank you for the incredible product.

Hey @garronej - appreciate the feedback! Is it not possible to use variants for splitting up the content as I see you already are using?

Hello @addisonschultz,

I use variants for versioning—each new major version gets its own space, so users of older versions can access the documentation that corresponds to the version they’re using (with stable links in the JSDoc example https://docs.oidc-spa.dev/.../v/v5/...).

On the other hand, the Release Notes and FAQ are consistent across versions, so it makes sense to keep them easily accessible at the top. If I were to bury them inside the variant selector, chances are no one would ever find them.

Hey @garronej - that makes sense, and a great point. I’ve looked into this with our team, and we’ve decided to add site sections to the sponsored plan as well. You should be able to access it from the plan now. Please let me know if there are any issues!

Thanks for considering GitBook for your project - let me know if I can help in any way 👍

Wow - I’m genuinely impressed.
I didn’t expect my request to be taken into account, let alone so quickly.

Thank you, GitBook - you’re empowering me in more ways than I can say.
