@rakleed Nice to see you! I think this sounds like a helpful impulse, so let me check in and find out if there's a reason not to, and I'll let you know.

@rakleed Sorry it took me a while to do research and think this through. Here's the problem: we're trying to move away from screenshots generally because UI changes happen faster than we can update the docs. Added to that, GitHub doesn't directly own any of those products, meaning that UI changes could happen without even giving us advance notification. The docs team is pretty wary of documenting UI on products we don't own for that reason.

I don't think we're going to be able to do this based on precedent and the direction we've been moving in the docs as a whole. I'm sorry, I'm sure it would be a useful addition if we could guarantee the UIs would stay the same for any length of time.
