Videos

Videos are fully searchable by keyword and filters.
In the Video Library, scroll to the Search field and enter a keyword string.
For the found videos listed in the Search results page, you can filter them by Product, Capability, Role, and Series (such as the Troubleshooting series of videos).
Troubleshooting videos
Troubleshooting videos are short, easy-to-understand recordings. These videos are created by Pega support engineers to resolve commonly occurring issues or provide answers to questions you might have about the Pega Platform.

Resolved Issues
The Resolved Issues page lists the fixes for Pega defects (bugs) reported by you and other Pega clients. Resolved Issues are documented for all levels of Pega Platform releases: major releases, minor releases, and patch releases.
You can search for or browse the Pega Community to find the Resolved Issues page.
From the Pega Community main menu, hover your mouse pointer over to see the menu. Click Resolved Issues.
Please note: beginning with the Pega Platform 8.7.4 Patch, the Resolved Issues have moved to the Pega Support Center.
Client-reported issues
A Resolved Issue presents a concise and informative summary of a Pega defect (bug) that you or other Pega clients have reported and the changes that have been made to address the bug, that is, the bug fix.
The Resolved Issues represent the only documentation specifically and directly for client-reported issues that are confirmed as defects and fixed in a particular release. If your support case reports an issue that you are having using a Pega product or service, an Incident (INC) is opened and triaged. If your INC identifies a Pega defect, a BUG report is generated from your INC and tracked for resolution in the Pega-internal implementation of Agile Studio. While the bug triage and fix development is in process for the targeted Pega Platform release, your support case (INC) is closed with the Resolution note, Will be fixed in upcoming patch. You and other clients can then view the Resolved Issues to find the resolved bug, the bug fix.
As a Pega client, you can view Resolved Issues both as a searchable web site and as a downloaded PDF that contains all of the Resolved Issues for a particular release. For more information, see Pega Platform Patch Releases Resolved Issues Download.
Finding your Resolved Issues
If you know the ID of your support case (an older SR or a newer INC), you can search the Resolved Issues on that ID.
You can also browse the resolved issues by filtering on Platform Version or Capability, or both. Browsing by these filters lets you see what is included in a Pega Platform release (a major release, a minor release, or a patch release) before updating your Pega deployment.
You can also perform keyword searches to confirm that a hotfix you received has been delivered in a later Pega Platform release.
Pega support teams also use Resolved Issues when they post Pulses in your support cases to inform you if an issue that you are reporting has already been fixed. When this happens, the Pega support team encourages you to update to a major or minor release or to apply the latest patch release.
Support Articles
Effective 01 December 2021, Support Articles will not be generated from individual support cases reported for a specific product and version. Solutions to client cases will continue to be assessed and aggregated for publication as Troubleshooting articles.
Formerly published Support Articles will be available on Pega Community's Archive page.
Troubleshooting articles
Troubleshooting articles are found on the Documentation tab of Pega Community search results.
Troubleshooting articles provide in-depth explanations and solutions for using Pega products. These articles are developed from support cases resolved by the support team. They are collected in Pega Services Troubleshooting. Explore this collection to see what is available. Alternatively, search the Pega Community using a keyword string Pega Platform Troubleshooting or a string that starts with Troubleshooting. Notice that the default tab on the search results page is Documentation. If needed, filter the search results by selecting the following values for the search facets:
- Content Type = Article
- Product = Pega Platform and <choose a Version>
- Capability = <choose one or more Pega Platform Capabilities: One capability yields more focused results.>
Troubleshooting articles are archived when other Documentation is archived periodically.
When you search for any type of knowledgebase article, watch for the Search Archives link.
