Summary

Reviewed the 50 English MDX files updated in the last 24 hours against Diataxis-scoped reader questions. Five pages had real gaps that would cost a reader; the rest either answered every question or had only cosmetic issues.

Changes

dashboard/network-access.mdx

  • Gap: No recovery path if admins lock themselves out with the IP allowlist (security-critical).
  • Fix: Added a "Recover from a lockout" subsection pointing to support@mintlify.com with the details support needs to help.

editor/tutorial.mdx

  • Gap: No prerequisites, so a first-time reader may hit the tutorial without a connected repo or editor access.
  • Fix: Added a Prerequisites section covering the connected repo, editor account, and PR permissions.

migration-services/go-live-checklist.mdx

  • Gap: Checklist covers setup but never tells teams to preview and QA the site before flipping DNS.
  • Fix: Added a Pre-launch validation section covering the .mintlify.site preview URL, mint broken-links, redirect spot-checks, and access-group verification.

automations/create.mdx

  • Gap: No guidance on validating a custom automation before it runs on a schedule or push.
  • Fix: Added a Test your automation section linking to the manual-run flow in /automations/manage#run-an-automation-manually and describing how to inspect run history.

integrations/privacy/osano.mdx

  • Gap: No verification step, and readers may assume osano.js needs to be registered somewhere in docs.json.
  • Fix: Added a note that Mintlify auto-includes .js files from the content directory (linked to /customize/custom-scripts#custom-javascript) and a Verify the banner section.

Also worth reviewing

These pages had smaller gaps flagged during the pass but weren't fixed this run:

  • assistant/widget.mdx — signed identity token generation isn't explained for authenticated embeds.
  • editor/agent.mdx — no clear path to reject/undo agent edits after review.
  • search-index/index.mdx — doesn't explain how content enters the index or whether there are limits/pricing.
  • guides/developer-documentation.mdx — SDK docs are listed in the nav example but never authored/organized.
  • analytics/streaming.mdx — delivery guarantees, retries, and backfill semantics aren't documented.
  • analytics/search.mdx — CTR formula and no-result-query workflow are underspecified.
  • analytics/traffic.mdx — page-view definition and referral attribution rules aren't stated.

Validation

  • mint validate — passed
  • mint broken-links — passed

Note

Low Risk
Changes are MDX documentation and translations only; no application code, config defaults, or security behavior changes in the product.

Overview
Documentation-only updates across English and localized (es, fr, zh) pages to answer gaps found in a Diataxis-style reader review.

Dashboard IP allowlist (network-access.mdx): adds Recover from a lockout with steps to contact support@mintlify.com (org name and IP) when admins are locked out.

Editor tutorial (editor/tutorial.mdx): adds Prerequisites (connected repo, editor account, permission to open PRs) so new readers don’t start without setup.

Go-live checklist (go-live-checklist.mdx): adds Pre-launch validation—preview on .mintlify.site, local mint broken-links, redirect checks, and access-group sign-in verification before DNS cutover.

Custom automations (automations/create.mdx): adds Test your automation—manual run before schedules/events, link to manual run docs, and how to inspect runs on the Automations runs tab.

Osano integration (integrations/privacy/osano.mdx): clarifies that content-directory .js files are auto-included (no docs.json entry for osano.js) and adds Verify the banner after deploy.

* docs: close reader-question gaps in automations, go-live, and Osano pages

Reworks the English-only subset of #6954 after review.

- automations/create.mdx: replace the redundant "review the output" tip
  with a "Test your automation" section. Drops #6954's advice to test
  before relying on "a schedule or event"; per /automations/manage most
  automations can run manually only with a schedule trigger. Links the
  run history section rather than the raw dashboard URL so credit usage
  and run statuses stay documented in one place.
- migration-services/go-live-checklist.mdx: add the preview-URL and
  mint broken-links steps to the existing Content validation section
  instead of a new section. #6954's auth and page-access bullets
  duplicated the Security section, and its redirects bullet is folded
  into the existing one.
- integrations/privacy/osano.mdx: add a Verify the banner section and
  note that content-directory .js files need no docs.json entry.

Excludes #6954's editor/tutorial.mdx prerequisites: the Editor group
root already documents editor access and roles, and the connected-repo
bullet is wrong for projects that skipped Git setup during onboarding.
The network-access.mdx lockout section is held pending confirmation of
what support can do for a locked-out org. Translations omitted; they
are generated after merge.
