Summary
The web editor's file tree now supports opening and editing Markdown and MDX files that live in your repository but aren't listed in
docs.jsonnavigation (such asREADME.mdorAGENTS.md). Previously, selecting one of these files in the navigation tree opened an empty editor and publishing failed.Changes
editor/pages.mdx: Added a note under Navigate files explaining that the navigation tree lists un-paged Markdown/MDX files in the repository and that edits publish to the same repo path.changelog.mdx: Added a corresponding improvements entry under the May 8, 2026 update.Note
Low Risk
Low risk: documentation-only updates describing existing editor behavior; no runtime or configuration logic changes.

README.md,AGENTS.md) and that edits publish back to the same repo path even though those files won’t appear in the site sidebar.Adds a May 8, 2026 changelog improvement entry calling out this new editor capability and linking to the updated
