 # Documentation
 
-The game's official documentation can be found in-game.
+There are 2 types of documentation:
 
-The [in-game documentation](./markdown/bitburner.md) is generated from the [TypeScript definitions](./src/ScriptEditor/NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts).
+- In-game documentation: It can be found in the Documentation tab. This is the best place to get up-to-date information. You can also read the web version at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/blob/stable/src/Documentation/doc/index.md.
+- NS API documentation: It's generated from the [TypeScript definitions](./src/ScriptEditor/NetscriptDefinitions.d.ts). You can read it at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src/blob/stable/markdown/bitburner.md.
 
 Anyone is welcome to contribute to the documentation by editing the [source
 files](/src/Documentation/doc) and then making a pull request with your contributions.
