We have cool product updates to share! @everyone
## 👀 Preview Deployments for Everyone
You no longer need to sign up for Convex Professional to use preview deployments: you can now use them with a free Convex account.
[Read the docs.](https://docs.convex.dev/production/hosting/preview-deployments)
## 🤖 “Copy as Markdown” in Convex Docs
It is now easier to add a page of the Convex documentation to your favorite LLM’s context: docs pages now have a “Copy as Markdown” button that copies a Markdown-formatted version of the page to your clipboard.
[Go to Convex Docs.](https://docs.convex.dev/home)
## 🛡️ Additional Protection in `npx convex deploy`
In the 1.30.0 version of the Convex CLI tool, the CLI will now ask for explicit confirmation before deleting large indexes (100,000+ documents). This helps avoid situations where an index is accidentally deleted and backfilling it takes a long time.

## 📂 Exclude Files from Backups
When using the Backups feature of Convex, you can now exclude file storage from backups. This can be useful when backing up very large projects.
