The source of truth is the real decision
A visual editor and Git only conflict when both create independent copies. When edits become reviewable Markdown changes in the same repository, contributors can choose an interface without choosing a separate history.
Preserve the useful constraints
Repository ownership, branches, previews, diffs, and automation are valuable. A visual workflow should expose those constraints in understandable language instead of hiding them or asking every contributor to learn Git commands.
- Keep assets and internal links portable.
- Show the exact diff before publishing.
- Respect protected branches and required reviews.
- Report merge conflicts without discarding either version.
Give each contributor the right surface
Engineers can edit Markdown in their normal tools. Product, support, and writing teams can use structured editing and previews. Both should produce the same build, validation, and publication result.
