You must update the sidebar navigation when you add or delete documentation .mdx files. If you do not update the navigation, the website deploy preview fails.

To update the sidebar navigation, you must edit the appropriate nav-data.json file. This repository contains the sidebar navigation files for the following documentation sets:

• OpenTofu Language: language-nav-data.json
• OpenTofu CLI: cli-nav-data.json
• Introduction to OpenTofu: intro-nav-data.json

Currently, you can preview your changes through the opentofu/opentofu.org repository.
