 ## Contributing to Generation of API Docs
 
 The docs are generated by using `fsdocs` tool from FSharp.Formatting.  If you want to improve the generation process:
 
-* Contribute to the API Docs mode and/or HTML generator in [FSharp.Formatting.ApiDocs](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/tree/master/src/FSharp.Formatting.ApiDocs) and [the `fsdocs` tool](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/tree/master/src/FSharp.Formatting.CommandTool)

-## Contributing to Layout and Design

-These pages are currently using [the default template of the FSharp.Formatting tools](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/blob/master/docs/_template.html)
-with its small amount of corresponding [CSS and JavaScript](https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting/tree/master/docs/content)

-See [FSharp.Formatting styling](https://fsprojects.github.io/FSharp.Formatting/styling.html) for information on styling for output generated by `fsdocs`.

-This template is *not* the long term plan (unless it is improved enough).  We can improve the design - please help with this.  
+* Submit work to the `main` branch of <https://github.com/fsprojects/FSharp.Formatting>
 
-1. Copy the default template and CSS to `docs`.  Rebuild as before.  This  template will be used instead of the default template.
-
-2. After you have identified fixes and improvements, contribute back to the default template of FSharp.Formatting, or submit your work here and we can assess that.  This will help improve many F# libraries.
-
-Whatever improvements you make should eventually get copied across back into FSharp.Formatting (and the duplicated template and styling will then likely be removed from this repo once it's no longer needed). If the design diverges to be a completely different look and feel then we can make several templates available in FSharp.Formatting with this as one of them.
+* Update the `dotnet tool` if new versions are released.
