Summary

Mintlify's second Launch Week commenced with the introduction of Preview Deployments, a feature that generates unique links for pull requests, allowing users to see exactly how documentation will appear in production before it goes live. This highly anticipated feature enhances developer workflows by enabling teams to detect issues early and gather feedback, ensuring that all changes to documentation, such as product guides or API references, are accurate and reliable before deployment. Available in beta for two weeks, Preview Deployments aim to maintain a consistent source of truth and improve the overall process of creating and updating documentation. Once a pull request is merged, the changes are reflected in production, and the generated link expires, emphasizing the importance of accurate documentation for users.
