Description

What's the problem? 🤔

Sometimes we share deploy previews with our users to showcase the feature before it's released or to demonstrate a bugfix.

Users might get confused and expect the feature to be released publicly, which is not the case (I think @joserodolfofreitas mentioned that we had support requests regarding this).
Or they might find an old deployment preview URL in the issues, but the API has changed since.

What are the requirements? ❓

What are our options? 💡

Proposed solution 🟢

To avoid these confusions, we might want to add a warning for all deployment previews, similar to what we have on https://v4.mui.com/ to make it clear that this is a preview and some features might not be publicly released yet

Research direction

The issue identifies deploy previews and references the warning on v4.mui.com, but names no repository files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the deploy-preview documentation infrastructure and the existing banner implementation, then clarify the warning's scope, placement, and validation before defining done.
