The problem, as people describe it

Engineering teams often split documentation between repository Markdown and a hosted documentation platform, creating drift between code, reviews, and published guides. This affects developer tools teams, platform teams, and open-source maintainers that need versioned docs, PR review workflows, automated publishing, and API references tied to releases.
