# Read capability and availability labels

Documentation uses separate labels for available workflows, practical guidance, development work and unverified claims. An article’s existence does not mean its subject is available in the product today.

## What each label means
- **Available on Mac:** described in the reviewed Mac release or acceptance record. Some machine-specific coverage may still be incomplete.
- **Practical guide:** a suggested workflow, example or evaluation method; it is not a built-in automation feature.
- **In development:** work or an integration is documented, but the complete user route is not ready to promise.
- **Coming soon:** a stated future direction, with no delivery date implied.
- **Needs validation:** a hardware estimate, performance target or scenario has not received sufficient real-world verification.
- **Under review:** a policy, offering or scope decision has not been finalized.

## Use the labels together with the text
A Mac voice article can describe available raw transcription while noting that server-based refinement still needs acceptance. A hardware specification can list supplier-provided dimensions while marking whisper performance as unverified.

Documentation publication and capability status are separate: a published article can explain a future feature, and an available feature can still have limits that deserve careful documentation. Read the reviewed date and current product-facts page before using a claim in a purchase decision or promotional material.
