 In development mode, React and other libraries often include additional checks and warnings that help catch potential issues early. These checks are usually stripped out in production builds to optimize performance. However, when running tests or debugging issues in a built Storybook, having these additional checks can be incredibly valuable. One such feature is React's `act`, which ensures that all updates related to a test are processed and applied before making assertions. `act` is crucial for reliable and predictable test results, but it only works correctly when `NODE_ENV` is set to `development`.

 ### Added source code panel to docs
 
-Starting in 8.5, Storybook Docs (`@storybook/addon-docs`) automatically adds a new addon panel to stories that displays a source snippet beneath each story. This works similarly to the existing [source snippet doc block](https://storybook.js.org/docs/writing-docs/doc-blocks#source), but in the story view. It is intended to replace the [Storysource addon](https://storybook.js.org/addons/@storybook/addon-storysource).
+Storybook Docs (`@storybook/addon-docs`) now can automatically add a new addon panel to stories that displays a source snippet beneath each story.
