The AI Setup Guides ยท Changelog

Every edition, dated, with what changed.

The guides get re-checked against the live products and republished whenever the tools move. Editions land at the same access link buyers already have. This page is the public record of what shipped and when, so you never have to take the word "current" on faith.

Published editions

Edition 2026.3 is current. Both guides are at v3.1.

An edition covers both guides. Each guide also carries its own version number in its footer, listed below so you can tell at a glance whether the copy you are reading is the current one.
