# FAQs – Material for MkDocs
|
||||
|
||||
In this section, you will find the most frequently asked questions related to
|
||||
Material for MkDocs. As we maintainers have decided to monetize Material for
|
||||
MkDocs, to spend more time working on this project, we have divided the project
|
||||
and its features into two versions with two repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
:fontawesome-solid-people-group: __Community version__ – a public
|
||||
repository that includes all the basic features and is updated once the funding
|
||||
goals are reached
|
||||
|
||||
:fontawesome-solid-people-arrows: __Insiders verion__ – a private
|
||||
repository exclusively for our Insiders, which contains more exclusive features

|
||||
popular static site generator. It also offers advanced theming options, a wide range of plugins,
|
||||
and custom components that make it easy to create professional-looking
|
||||
documentation sites quickly and efficiently.
