Common questions
What format does it use?
Standard documentation format with version, date, and optional status. Example: Version 2.1.0 | Last Updated: 2024-11-26. You can customize format after generation.
Does it update existing version info?
Yes. If the document already has version info, River updates it and every other outdated mention, and lists each change. If not, it adds a new header. Maintains consistency across documentation set.
