What this pattern is good for
- Showing multiple integration outcomes without sending readers to an external demo site
- Comparing many presentation patterns while keeping one underlying product dataset
- Explaining how the same ActionX result can power links, cards, galleries, or follow-up actions
- Prototyping lightweight UI ideas directly in docs before moving them into an application
- Teaching partners and developers that Mintlify can host custom coded presentation layers inside a normal documentation page
