 To start bisecting, you must first determine the commit hashes (identifiers) of
 the "bad" and "good" build. "bad" refers to the build that exhibits the bug,
-whereas "good" refers to the version that doesn't exhibit the bug. If you're
-using a pre-release build as the "good" or "bad" build, browse the `download
-mirror <https://downloads.tuxfamily.org/godotengine/>`__, go to the folder that
-contains the pre-release you downloaded and look for the ``README.txt`` file.
-The commit hash is written inside that file.
-
-If you're using a stable release as the "good" or "bad" build, use one of the
-following commit hashes depending on the version:
-
-.. code-block:: none
-
-    4.1.1-stable
-    4.1-stable
-    4.0.3-stable
-    4.0.2-stable
-    4.0.1-stable
-    4.0-stable
-    3.5.2-stable

+If you're using a pre-release build as the "good" or "bad" build, you can find
+the commit hash in the Project Manager in the lower-right corner, or in in the
+**Help > About Godot** dialog in the Godot editor. The version information will
+look something like ``v4.4.beta3.official [06acfccf8]``, and the commit hash is
+within the brackets, in this case ``06acfccf8``. You can click on the version
+information to copy it, including the commit hash.
+
+Alternately, you can browse the `interactive changelog
+<https://godotengine.github.io/godot-interactive-changelog/>`__ to find commits
+for all releases, including development builds. The commits will be listed as a
+range, like ``commits: a013481b0...06acfccf8``, and the second commit is the one
+you should use for bisecting. You can also browse the `Godot Archive
+<https://godotengine.org/download/archive/>`__, and find the commit hash within
+the release page linked from the **News** button.
+
+If you're using a stable release as the "good" or "bad" build, you can use the
+tag of that release directly, such as ``4.2-stable`` or ``4.2.1-stable``. A full
+list of release tags is available `on GitHub
+<https://github.com/godotengine/godot/tags>`__, and you can also find the actual
+commit hash that corresponds to a stable release there.
 
 To refer to the latest state of the master branch, you can use ``master``
