Is there a way to selectively 'unfreeze' documents?

Description

The freeze: auto feature is great, but you may have some documents that you always want to re-render.

execute:
  freeze: auto [minus x.qmd]

Example of application

I'm working with two profiles (HTML and PDF), and I need different content for index.qmd for each of them. To get around that, I created the following Quarto content.

<!-- %:::% .common h1 begin %:::% -->
# Welcome {.unnumbered}
<!-- %:::% .common h1 end %:::% -->

```{r}
#| label: setup
#| echo: false
#| output: false

# library(here)

source(here::here("R/quarto-setup.R"))
```

::: {.content-visible when-format="html"}
{{< include qmd/_index-html.qmd >}}
:::

::: {.content-visible when-format="pdf"}
{{< include qmd/_index-pdf.qmd >}}
:::

Source: https://github.com/danielvartan/abnt/blob/main/index.qmd

As you can see, the index file does not change, but the content of qmd/_index-html.qmd or qmd/_index-pdf.qmd can. If index.qmd could be unfrozen, it would render any changes in those two files.

Set freeze: false in the documents you are talking about.

Side note: the proper option to not include a code cell is include: false (not echo+output).

Also:

• Changes in included files don't trigger re-execution when freeze: auto is set #6793
• Preview not updated on changes to included files #2795
