## About versions of {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}

{% data variables.product.company_short %} offers different plans for storing and collaborating on code. The plan you use determines which features are available to you. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/get-started/learning-about-github/githubs-plans)."

This website, {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}, provides documentation for all of {% data variables.product.company_short %}'s plans. If the content you're reading applies to more than one plan, you can choose the version of the documentation that's relevant to you by selecting the plan you're currently using.

At the top of a page on {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}, select the dropdown menu and click a plan. If your browser window is not wide enough to display the full navigation bar, you may need to click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="Open Menu Bar" %} first.

## Determining which {% data variables.product.company_short %} product you use

You can determine which {% data variables.product.company_short %} plan you're currently using by reviewing the URL in the address bar of your browser and the heading for the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} website you're on.

You may use more than one {% data variables.product.company_short %} plan. For example, you might contribute to open source on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} and collaborate on code on your employer's {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance. You may need to view different versions of the same article at different times, depending on the problem you're currently trying to solve.

### {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} plans or {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}

{% ifversion global-nav-update %}{% else %}

{% endif %}

On {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}, each account has its own plan. Each personal account has an associated plan that provides access to certain features, and each organization has a different associated plan. If your personal account is a member of an organization on {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, you may have access to different features when you use resources owned by that organization than when you use resources owned by your personal account. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts)."

If you don't know whether an organization uses {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}, ask an organization owner. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-your-membership-in-organizations/viewing-peoples-roles-in-an-organization)."

### {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}

If you access {% data variables.product.github %} at a subdomain of {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}, such as `octocorp.ghe.com`, you're part of an enterprise that uses {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}. You should use the "{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_cloud %}" version of {% data variables.product.prodname_docs %}.

Because you're using a {% data variables.enterprise.prodname_managed_user %}, certain parts of the documentation may not apply to you. See "[AUTOTITLE](/enterprise-cloud@latest/admin/managing-iam/understanding-iam-for-enterprises/abilities-and-restrictions-of-managed-user-accounts)."

If you see references to "github.com" in the documentation, you may need to substitute these references for your enterprise's subdomain on {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_site %}. For example, you will make API calls to `https://{% data variables.enterprise.data_residency_api %}`, rather than `https://api.github.com`.

### {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}

If you access {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} at a URL **other than** https://github.com, `https://*.github.us`, or `https://*.ghe.com`, you're using {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. For example, you may access {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} at `https://github.YOUR-COMPANY-NAME.com`. Your administrators may choose a URL that doesn't include the word "{% data variables.product.company_short %}."

In a wide browser window, the word "Enterprise" immediately follows the {% data variables.product.company_short %} logo on the left side of the header.
