Unable to add feedback on docs.microsoft.com
I used to be able to have an option to provide feedback on specific documentation at docs.microsoft.com. I used it to provide feedback on stuff that isn't right or isn't clear. However I don't see that option anymore whether I'm logged in or not. Example: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.image.fromstream?view=net-5.0&source=docs
Here there is no options to provide feedback or comments on the docs. There is an Edit button but I don't want to change the docs as I'm not sure what should be said. I just want to point out that the docs are not correct for a large set of cases and needs to be clarified.
The only option that is remotely related to feedback is whether the site is useful or not. But the verbiage there seems to indicate it is for the general docs site and not specific page issues.
Thank you for creating the issue! One of our team members will get back to you shortly with additional information. If this is a product issue, please close this and contact the particular product's support instead (see https://support.microsoft.com/allproducts for the list of support websites).
@CoolDadTx We disabled the Feedback button in some repos where we just couldn't handle the quantity of feedback. However, for the specific page you referenced, you can log an issue directly on GitHub: https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/issues.
Thanks for the info. I'll post there.
Hi, I spent a very frustrating few minutes looking for the feedback link, thinking I was crazy. I added this issue, convinced I was missing something extremely basic.
Perhaps you could add back the link and when it is clicked, you could explain that it is disabled at the moment due to volume of feedback, and to instead go to the github repo for the project? It would help folks like me not waste our time.
Thanks!
For repos with feedback disabled, it would be nice if the icon/button was still there, but it just said something like "Feedback is not enabled for this repo" when you clicked it. (If we still point to the repo at that point, we might as well just re-enable feedback.) Tagging @keziamicro for this feedback.
