Yes, you can use documentation verification for pre-merge review of setup guides and configuration files. The process applies quality gates to READMEs and config files to ensure factual correctness, completeness, and accurate code examples before release.

Automated link checking limitations include relying on predefined validation procedures and scripts, which may not catch factual inaccuracies or incomplete documentation updates if the validation rules are not comprehensively defined for the specific API changes.
