Where did the former SAP Fiori Design Guidelines go?

The SAP Fiori Design Guidelines are now the all-encompassing SAP Design System Guidelines. All the content you use and rely upon can be found in the new experience, either via the homepage (direct links right to web, mobile, digital specific guidelines), or the side bar navigation within the system guidelines.

The old URLs (experience.sap.com/internal/fiori-design and experience.sap.com/fiori-design) redirect to the new portal site (sap.com/design-system).

How do I know what version I am using?
The portal will default to the latest release, which you see in the version selector above the left navigation menu. If you’ve navigated to a different version, the version identifier will change.
What are long-term support versions?
All older guidelines have been condensed into 6 long-term support versions. Each long-term version contains all the updates since the previous long-term version. You’ll still be able to find the same guidelines, but you’ll always see the latest consolidated content for the long-term version, rather than several smaller updates.
How do I find the version I need for reference?
You can see how past versions map to the long-term support versions in this chart.
How does the guideline version numbering system work?
The guideline version numbering is based on the version numbers for the SAPUI5 framework. The long-term support versions are aligned with the SAPUI5 long-term maintenance versions.
I work with SAP Web Components. How do I find the right web component guideline version?
For SAP Web Components, we recommend using the “Latest” guideline version.
