+# Viewing legacy documentation
+
+## Prerequisites

+- Git
+- `python3`
+- pip
+
+## Automated Script for Legacy Documentation
+To build and view the docs for a specific version of Marvin, you can use [this script](/scripts/serve_legacy_docs).
+
+You can either clone the [Marvin repo](https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin.git) and run the script locally, or copy the script and run it directly in your terminal after making it executable:
+```bash
+# unix
+chmod +x scripts/serve_legacy_docs
+
+# run the script (default version is v1.5.6)
+./scripts/serve_legacy_docs
+
+# optionally, specify a version
+./scripts/serve_legacy_docs v1.5.3
+```
+
+## Manual Steps
+
+If you prefer to manually perform the steps or need to tailor them for your specific operating system, follow these instructions:
+
+1. **Clone the Repository**  
+   Clone the Marvin repository using Git:
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/PrefectHQ/marvin.git
+   cd marvin
+   ```
+
+2. **Checkout the Specific Tag**  
+   Checkout the tag for the version you are interested in. Replace `v1.5.6` with the desired version tag:
+   ```bash
+   git fetch --tags
+   git checkout tags/v1.5.6
+   ```
+
+3. **Create a Virtual Environment**  
+   Create and activate a virtual environment to isolate the dependency installation:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
+   ```
+
+4. **Install Dependencies**  
+   Install the necessary dependencies for the documentation:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -e ".[dev,docs]"
+   ```
+
+5. **Serve the Documentation Locally**  
+   Use `mkdocs` to serve the documentation:
+   ```bash
+   mkdocs serve
+   ```
+   This will start a local server. View the documentation by navigating to `http://localhost:8000` in your web browser.
+
+6. **Exit Virtual Environment**  
+   Once finished, you can exit the virtual environment:
+   ```bash
+   deactivate
+   ```
+
+   Optionally, you can remove the virtual environment folder:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf venv
+   ```
