Staging multiple manuals in one wave is supported through multi-manual wave staging, which optimizes shared file handling and prioritizes order to streamline document processing workflows.

How does workspace refresh work when preparing files for PDF Forge deployment?

Workspace refresh for PDF Forge deployment works by syncing from the opus-master branch, ensuring the latest manual files are updated before applying LaTeX escaping and staging changed files.

Do I need a README.md file to prepare my manual for PDF Forge deployment?

A README.md file is required to prepare manuals for PDF Forge deployment, as the process discovers per-manual conventions from README.md and request.json to automate file staging and escaping.

Can I selectively stage only changed files when preparing manuals for document processing?

Selectively staging changed files during manual preparation is fully supported, preventing unnecessary file processing by identifying and staging only modified documents for PDF Forge deployment.
