SP-API documentation changes recently? New documentation system extremely hard to navigate
It seems recently the SP-API documentation system has changed to a new format.
The old system, while it had some bugs, was overall very user friendly to read -- the new format seems like a "self serve". For example I'm trying to program AWD SP-API "createInbound" and struggling to get an example JSON data set to work from.
It seems I have to literally drill down through dozens of nested parameter boxes, enter fake info just to get a sample JSON -- and it's very confusing. My resulting example winds up with like 10 nested levels of "distributionPackage".
What happened to the old user friendly, human readable example documentation -- is it gone forever? What would have taken 10 minutes is now a complete mess and I don't know how to proceed or follow this.
Example here:
https://developer-docs.amazon.com/sp-api/reference/createinbound
To get an example of body parameter JSON object seems to be a nightmare. Am I missing something?

@Seller_TTG0TX5GOhqmW Hello there, and thank you for your post to the forums!
The SP-API changes you are referencing occurred around January 2022, which is when we launched the Selling Partner API documentation site that you linked in your post! With the launch of the new application, it lead to the deprecation of the selling-partner-api-docs repository that was previously used. The good news is that you can find all of the information previously available on the selling-partner-api-docs repository on the newer documentation site!
You are more than welcome to submit feedback, issues,, and ideas to the Amazon Selling Partner API Team.
Thank you again!
