FAQPage Schema
How do I automate technical writing document updates when source files change?▼

Automate document updates by comparing source file modification times against an internal database to identify and process changes. This ensures technical documentation stays current without manual synchronization efforts.

How does version control work for document synchronization in content management environments?▼

Version control tracks changes in source files and updates document versions accordingly. It compares modification times against an internal database to detect updates, requiring user confirmation before applying bulk or specific selections.

Do I need a sources.yaml configuration file to detect file modifications?▼
