In Brazil and the USA, 'online documentation' is the standard term in the tech industry and is essential for software support. Brazilian companies and open-source projects typically maintain Portuguese versions of online documentation. The term reflects the shift from traditional printed manuals to digital, searchable resources that can be updated in real-time. In Portugal, 'documentação em linha' is more formally correct, but the English term 'online' is increasingly used, especially among younger developers and in international tech communities.
