Preview deployments

Validate pull request previews and manual branch previews.

Preview deployments let writers and engineers review documentation before it reaches production.

Pull request previews

Open or update a pull request to create a preview. The dashboard should show the branch, commit, author, status, URL, and logs.

Manual previews

Use the dashboard to create a custom preview for any branch. Manual previews are useful for content reviews, release branches, and stakeholder demos.

Archive behavior

When a pull request closes, DevDocs archives the related preview after the configured retention window.
