 itself should not be deployed, as it only contains the source files. The built version of the website is available as the
 `published` branch instead.
 
-The deployed website has to serve a file for the editor to read and check if there are new versions of the Engine available to 
-download. This file is `_data/versions.yml`. It gets copied to `_site/versions.yml` when the website is built using the GitHub
-Action described in `.github/workflows/build-website.yml`.

 folder. See the detailed instructions above.
