Adds a bullet to the preview lifetime section explaining what happens to previews after you change the repository in your Git settings.
Previews built from the previous repository already stopped updating; Mintlify now deletes them automatically after 7 days, unless you switch back to the original repository first. The page previously said manual previews stay live until you delete them.
Based on a merged backend change titled "Delete orphaned preview deployments after 7 days", which adds the 7-day grace period and automatic cleanup.
Duplicate check: open docs PRs by the author, Ethan Palm, mintlify[bot] and with "preview" in the title, plus docs merges since Oct 19. The open fork-preview PR edits a different section of the same page.
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only change describing preview cleanup behavior; no code or runtime impact.
Overview
Documents preview lifetime when you change the connected Git repository: previews from the old repo stop updating, Mintlify auto-deletes them after seven days, and switching back to the original repo before that deadline preserves those previews.
This new bullet sits alongside the existing automatic, manual, and delete-preview rules in
deploy/preview-deployments.mdx, aligning docs with backend cleanup of orphaned preview deployments.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e2b4350. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
