zeroheight deep dive: Automating documentation — Markdown syncing

Join us for another installment of our deep dive webinar series, where we explore the tools and practices shaping the future of design systems.

This month, we're getting practical about documentation automation. Design system documentation breaks down when every update depends on a manual handoff. And engineers are rarely going to adopt a new authoring tool just to keep props tables up to date.

Markdown syncing offers a different model: let engineers contribute in the repo workflows they already use, and pull that content directly into zeroheight so the whole organization has one clear place to go.

Our Principal Design Advocate, Luke Murphy, will walk through how markdown syncing works end-to-end, where it fits in a healthy documentation workflow, and which parts of your design system docs are best suited to automation. They'll use GitHub as one practical example, but the principles apply to any repo-based workflow.

You'll see practical examples across:

• Props and API tables
• Code changelogs and release notes
• Component status
• Token reference tables
• Accessibility conformance reports
• Contributor and ownership information

We'll also cover what should not be automated: usage guidance, rationale, migration notes, and the narrative context that keeps documentation useful for designers, engineers, and product teams alike.

If you're trying to reduce documentation drift, grow engineer contribution, or just keep code-adjacent docs current without adding more manual work, this session is for you.
