 ## What is live
 
-- Edits made through the Admin MCP server or the Mintlify editor are unpublished until they are published. On the deploy branch they are pending changes; on any other branch they reach the site when that branch's pull request is merged.
+- Edits made through the Admin MCP server or the Mintlify editor are unpublished until they are published. On the deploy branch they are pending changes; on any other branch they reach the site when that branch's pull request is merged into the deploy branch. In the editor, a sub-branch's pull request can target another non-deploy branch (its parent); merging it into the parent changes nothing live until the parent merges into the deploy branch.
 - Saving and publishing are different steps. The editor saves edits on its own; publishing commits them to git.
 - To answer "is this live" or "why can't I see my change", check what is unpublished (`status` or `diff` on the branch), whether a publish succeeded, and whether its deploy finished (`deployment_status` with the `commitSha` from `publish`; the change is live only when `live` is `true`). Say what you know and how the user can make it live. Do not guess, and do not claim a change is live when it only reached another branch.
