Summary
The documentation for creating an Actor from a template in Apify Console has diverged significantly from the current UI. This affects both Platform docs & Academy
Discovered using Claude Code + Playwright MCP to walk through the documented steps against the live Apify Console UI.
Root cause
The Apify Console UI has been redesigned with:
- A new template selection flow with Git integration and template detail pages
- Updated templates using Crawlee instead of Axios/Cheerio
- Reorganized tab structure ("Source" as parent tab)
- Updated button labels and input schemas
The documentation was not updated to reflect these changes.
Suggested fix
Both pages need a rewrite to match the current UI.
