How these docs are organized

The sidebar is the table of contents. Pages are short and focused; most reference pages are scannable in under a minute.

Each page that documents UI tied to a specific RapidRAW version carries a small "Verified in vX.Y.Z" badge at the top. If you're on a newer version and notice something out of date, open an issue.
