[DOCS] Inconsistent Versioning for "Latest" in autoUpdatesChannel documentation

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Jan 18, 2026 by coygeek Closed Feb 28, 2026

Documentation Type

Unclear/confusing documentation

Documentation Location

Section/Topic

The autoUpdatesChannel setting description and examples in both the Settings and Setup sections.

Current Documentation

In docs/en/settings inside the "Available settings" table:

Description: "Release channel to follow for updates. Use 'stable' for a version that is typically about one week old and skips versions with major regressions, or 'latest' (default) for the most recent release" Example: "stable"

In docs/en/setup under "Configure release channel":

* "latest" (default): Receive new features as soon as they're released ``json { "autoUpdatesChannel": "stable" } ``

What's Wrong or Missing?

The documentation consistently identifies "latest" as the default behavior, yet provides "stable" as the example value in both the settings table and the setup configuration block. While not technically an error (as examples often illustrate how to change defaults), presenting the non-default option as the primary example across multiple pages creates an inconsistent presentation regarding the standard configuration.

Suggested Improvement

Ensure consistency in describing the default behavior. If "latest" is the default, consider using it as the example to reinforce the standard setup, or explicitly note that the example demonstrates how to opt-out of the default channel.

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

  • Location: docs/en/settings.md row for autoUpdatesChannel
  • Location: docs/en/setup.md configuration JSON block under "Configure release channel"
