Description

Changes
• Copy  versioned_docs/version-0.84  →  version-0.85  (identical file set, 278 files)
• Copy the sidebar →  versioned_sidebars/version-0.85-sidebars.json 
• Bump version references  0.84  →  0.85  in the only two docs that carry them:  getting-started.mdx  and  native-platform-getting-started.md 
• Prepend  0.85  to  versions.json  →  ["0.85", "0.84", "0.83"] 
•  docusaurus.config.js :  lastVersion   0.84  →  0.85 , and prepend  0.85  to  onlyIncludeVersions 
• Retains 0.84 and 0.83 (matching how the 0.84 update kept 0.83)

❓Question for reviewers — how should we handle  support.md ?
I intentionally did not touch  src/pages/support.md  (the version lifecycle / support table) in this PR, because adding the 0.85 row means committing to real dates: the 0.85 release date plus recomputed Maintenance Start / End-of-Support dates for 0.84 and the older versions. Is it okay to use the best-guess placeholder dates now and update them as things become stable??

Microsoft Reviewers: Open in CodeFlow

Snapshot the docs website for the RNW 0.85 release, following the same
process used for 0.84 (PR #1263):

- Copy versioned_docs/version-0.84 -> version-0.85 (identical file set)
- Copy versioned_sidebars/version-0.84-sidebars.json -> 0.85
- Bump version references (0.84 -> 0.85) in the two docs that carry them:
  getting-started.mdx and native-platform-getting-started.md
- Prepend 0.85 to versions.json -> ["0.85", "0.84", "0.83"]
- docusaurus.config.js: lastVersion 0.84 -> 0.85 and prepend 0.85 to
  onlyIncludeVersions

The previous versions (0.84, 0.83) are retained, matching how 0.84 kept
0.83.

Note: the support.md lifecycle table is intentionally NOT updated here -
it needs the finalized 0.85 release date and the recomputed
maintenance / end-of-support dates for the older versions. See the PR
description.

Vineeth (@vineethkuttan) - how should we handle  support.md? I intentionally did not touch  src/pages/support.md  (the version lifecycle / support table) in this PR, because adding the 0.85 row means committing to real dates: the 0.85 release date plus recomputed Maintenance Start / End-of-Support dates for 0.84 and the older versions.

Yep ,that works anuagragith.

Hi anuagragith

Can you create a sample gh-pages on your forked repo. So, that it will be easy for me to review.

This is the one I created for 0.84 release. You can find the powershell script for this in the repo itself.

https://vineethkuttan.github.io/react-native-windows/

Adds the 0.85 (Active/latest) row with placeholder release date 09/10/2026. Cascades per policy: 0.84 -> Maintenance (maint 10/31/2026, EOS 12/31/2026, link to v0.84-stable), 0.82 -> Unsupported. Dates are placeholders to be finalized on actual release.

Hi Vineeth (@vineethkuttan) - thanks for the guidance on the placeholder dates. I pushed the  support.md  update ( cd33503b ), please review here when you get a chance.

• 0.85 → new Active/ latest  row, placeholder release 09/10/2026 (Maint/EOS TBD)
• 0.84 → Maintenance (link →  v0.84-stable , Maint  10/31/2026 , EOS  12/31/2026 )
• 0.82 → Unsupported; 0.83/0.81 unchanged

Follows the existing date conventions and the 0.84 phase-shift precedent (#1263). Dates are placeholders per your OK. Builds cleanly locally; I'll set up a gh-pages preview next time for a visual review.
