In Oct 2025, the docs repository delivered targeted documentation improvements for OctopusDeploy/docs, focusing on runbook usage guidance and reliable callouts. The Runbook triggers documentation callout and version guidance feature clarifies that only the latest non-prerelease package versions are supported for package steps in runbooks, with a recommendation to hard-code prerelease versions if needed. This was implemented in commit 1ef3da21c01a2c02fff70e3227783d2208778ef7. A separate rendering fix corrected callout blocks by updating the directive from ':::{.hint}' to ':::div{.hint}' in two Markdown files, ensuring consistent rendering (commit 69e0f5235dc099f8b9923c20a6223d98f618da19). These changes improve documentation accuracy, reduce misconfigurations, and enhance onboarding for users managing runbooks.
