Docs are out of date with the product #57

Closed

Description

@simpleanalytics-agent

What

Several docs pages no longer match the product:

  • The Admin and Export API pages have wrong fields, plan requirements and defaults. For example, public should be isPublic, and exports default to page views only.
  • The server-side event examples use a user agent that gets marked as a robot, so the copied examples never show up.
  • Account deletion, team roles and inviting team members describe old rules.
  • The Cloudflare and WordPress guides describe old flows and settings.
  • Script and event details are outdated: utm_term, event names, metadata, the light script, namespaces and bot detection.
  • Several feature pages are outdated: hiding referral spam, email reports, the Google import, certificate checks, export formats and plan notes.

Some product changes aren't documented at all, like the Free-plan badge requirement from November 1, 2026 and the AI chat. Some screenshots show screens that no longer exist. /pecr and /google-looker-studio are linked from the product but return 404.

Why

Customers rely on these pages to set up tracking, use the API and manage their team. Wrong docs lead to missing data, unexpected access for invited members, and support questions.

Notes

Found by comparing the docs with the dashboard, scripts, queue, elasticsearch-api and wordpress-plugin code and the PRs merged since June 2026.
