+            👋 Thanks for updating the docs! Just a friendly reminder that our docs are now **cumulative**. This means all 9.x versions are documented on the same page and published off of the main branch, instead of creating separate pages for each minor version.
+            
+            We use [applies_to tags](https://elastic.github.io/docs-builder/syntax/applies) to mark version-specific features and changes.
+        
+            <details>
+            <summary>Expand for a quick overview</summary>
+        
+            ### When to use applies_to tags:
+            ✅ At the page level to indicate which products/deployments the content applies to (mandatory)
+            ✅ When features change state (e.g. preview, ga) in a specific version
+            ✅ When availability differs across deployments and environments
+        
+            ### What NOT to do:
+            ❌ Don't remove or replace information that applies to an older version
+            ❌ Don't add new information that applies to a specific version without an applies_to tag
+            ❌ Don't forget that applies_to tags can be used at the page, section, and inline level
+            </details>
+
