Overview
Carbon is always getting better. This happens through feature and usability upgrades to our elements, components, and patterns. It also happens through exploration and experimentation by the individuals and teams who use Carbon.
A new community experience
Carbon relies heavily on our community to contribute to and grow the system; therefore, we are making contributions easier by releasing a new platform. The new Carbon platform allows maintainers to classify libraries and assets by applying a common schema allowing all assets in both core and local systems (previously referred to as PALs) to be documented in one experience. The platform catalogs now include core and local systems, enabling teams to access documentation for all indexed assets and libraries without leaving the platform.
