Summary

Documents that llms-full.txt is now publicly accessible on partially authenticated sites (excluding pages that require authentication or belong to user groups), while llms.txt still requires authentication. Fully authenticated sites are unchanged.

Changes

  • Updated the authentication note on the llms.txt page to distinguish behavior between llms.txt and llms-full.txt.
  • Split the llms.txt and llms-full.txt row in the Feature availability table into separate rows with the new partially authenticated behavior.
  • Updated the intro paragraph above the table so it no longer claims all hosted files share the same auth requirements.
  • Mirrored all changes in the Spanish and French translations.

Context

Upstream change makes llms-full.txt behave like sitemap.xml and robots.txt on partially authenticated sites: it is served publicly with private and grouped pages filtered out, so AI tools can index public content without signing in.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only updates; the main risk is user confusion if the described auth behavior differs from actual product behavior.

Overview
Documentation now differentiates llms.txt vs llms-full.txt access under authentication. The llms.txt page note is rewritten to explicitly state that on fully authenticated sites both files require sign-in, while on partially authenticated sites llms-full.txt is public and filters out protected/group content but llms.txt still requires authentication.

Authentication docs are updated to match this behavior. The Feature availability intro no longer implies all hosted files share the same auth rules, and the table splits the combined llms.txt and llms-full.txt row into separate rows reflecting public llms-full.txt on partially authenticated sites. These changes are mirrored in the Spanish and French versions.
