Description

In our documentation it currently says:

"The latest database will be kept alive indefinitely, older ones from the same branch may get garbage collected to make room for new ones. It will be valid for 3 months, after which you will be expected to rebuild the branch."

This wording is confusing and made a partner believe that if they only have one staging (i.e the latest) it would be kept alive indefinitely, which isn't the case. I am attaching a link to our Branches documentation.

Research direction

Start with the linked Branches documentation at the staging section and review the quoted wording in context. Clarify that a single latest staging is not kept alive indefinitely and that the three-month validity applies as described; done means the documentation no longer creates that misunderstanding.
