-## Local Documentation Development
-
-### Generation Only (No Server)
-
-Run `main.py` to generate documentation without serving:
-
-```bash
-cd docs/src && python main.py --verbose
-```
-
-This automatically clones `tutorials/` repository and generates markdown files in `reference/` and `releasenotes/` directories without starting a web server.
-
-### Serving Locally
-
-Use `mkdocs serve` to automatically clone `tutorials/` and generate documentation in `reference/` and `releasenotes/` and serve the website:
-
-```bash
-cd docs && mkdocs serve
-```
-
-The site is typically available at `http://127.0.0.1:8000/deep-learning-containers/` - check the command output for the actual URL.
-
-### Live Reload
-
-Enable automatic reload on content changes:
-
-```bash
-mkdocs serve --livereload
-```
+---
 
-**Note:** Live reload only detects changes to:
+## Tutorials Changes
 
-- Markdown file content
-- `.nav.yml` content
-- `mkdocs.yml` content
+For any changes required to the tutorial pages, create a new PR in
+[aws-samples/sample-aws-deep-learning-containers](https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-aws-deep-learning-containers.git).
 
-Live reload does **not** detect changes requiring documentation regeneration (e.g., image config YAML files, templates). To regenerate documentation, stop the server (`Ctrl+C`) and rerun `mkdocs serve`.
+> **Important**: When making changes to the tutorials page, make sure that you update the tutorials
+> [index.md](https://github.com/aws-samples/sample-aws-deep-learning-containers/blob/main/index.md) and
