# Regenerating Specful's navigation views

When asked whether the views are current, run `specful index --check` and report the drift; checking authorises no
write. Run `specful index` to regenerate only when the user asked for an update or approves one, then confirm with
`--check`. These views are generated and disposable: never hand-edit them. See `specful index --help` for its options.
