Ability to Set the version of the documentation for a project that you want to see

[s7726]

When googling around for documentation I often find I'm taken to the documentation for a version of something I don't have.

I would like to be able to set that I want to see version x of project y so that when I come in from another link of some kind I get a notification of some kind that makes it immediately apparent that I'm not looking at the version of the documentation that I have set.

I personally don't mind if I have to be logged in or a cookie is set to achieve this.

RTD can host multiple versions of documentation for a project, but the project admin has to configure this. Once it's configured you can see at lower left what version you're currently viewing.

Is this related to what you're talking about? I'm not sure I understand your problem exactly.

I can see what version I'm looking at, but often searching for something will bring me to the documentation for a version I'm not working with (old or new). I understand this is a convenience thing, but when working with django and some of it's packages I became rather irritated constantly finding all the wrong documentation.

#587 is closer, but if it could highlight that it's not the version I have selected to be MY current version that would go a long way to solving my issue.

Ah! I see. You are saying you come back again and again to the same docs, and you want your personally preferred version to persist. That makes a lot of sense.

We'd probably implement this with our "collections" concept, otherwise I can't think of a UI that wouldn't be really complicated. Closing this and moving to #3784
