FAQs

How this release page works

The updates hub should answer what changed and what to revisit before the user has to scroll through raw notes.

Why maintain an updates hub instead of separate blog posts?

This format makes it easier to compare releases, surface the most important impact lines, and connect updates back to tools and guides that may need changes.

What belongs on this page first?

The top of the page should always answer three things quickly: what changed, how important it is, and which pages on the site are most affected.
