      All screenshots and animated gifs that were included with the Active Choices plugin documentation are now missing from the plugin wiki page Active Choices | Jenkins plugin

      These were key to documenting the plugin's rich functionality and should be restored

          Fortunately, it's been captured in the Wayback Machine. One has to wonder why the content was not internal to the repo and instead published/hosted externally.

          Good catch ioannis!

          Great! If we manage to rescue the images and update the README, that'd be great!

          In Jenkins, plug-ins used to store all of their docs in an instance of Confluence. Then came jenkins.io, then migration off of Confluence and everything went to GitHub pages. Most plug-ins updated (as we did). However, the tool that exported the old Wiki pages, generated a Markdown with links to images in Confluence I think?

          Hence the confusion now. The Confluence instance, or whichever machine that was hosting the images, has been decommissioned I think. Sorry.

          Used WayBack machine as suggested by ianw (thanks). PR created. Once a new release is done, the plug-in docs should update and show the images correctly (usually takes a few minutes/hours).

          I also believe that the wiki had some additional pages that are not included in the current documentation. kinow I believe they had to do with Active Choice generated interactive (JavaScript driven) build forms and some additional details on more advanced AC configuration.

          For example: Jenkins : Reactive Reference Dynamic Parameter Controls
