[brichmond31]

Reviewed document as I believe some of the steps could be confusing and some of the information is outdated or no longer relevant.

Added additional steps, service names, files names and paths.

Editorial Review

docs/changetracker/8.0/install/databasecustompath/windows.md

• Completeness — Line 20: The screenshot now points to a temporary GitHub upload URL (https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/...) instead of a versioned asset under static/images/. These attachment URLs are not permanent and are not guaranteed to render in the published docs, so readers may see a broken image. Suggested fix: save the screenshot as a .webp file under static/images/changetracker/8.0/install/deployment/ and reference it with an absolute path, e.g. ![Custom database path on Windows](/images/changetracker/8.0/install/deployment/customdatabasepathwindows.webp).
• Completeness — Line 18: Step 4 tells the reader to edit the dbpath parameter to change the location for DB files, but no longer shows what a valid entry looks like (the removed text referenced "the config line as below"). A newer user won't know the expected format. Suggested fix: add an example of the edited line, e.g. Set dbpath to the new folder, for example: dbpath: "D:\ChangeTracker\Data".
• Clarity — Line 16: Step 3 says to edit mongod.cfg but doesn't say how to open it. Suggested fix: name the action and note the permission needed, e.g. "Open the mongod.cfg file in a text editor with administrator privileges. The file is located in C:\Program Files\NNT Change Tracker Suite\Gen7\MongoDB\bin."

docs/changetracker/8.1/install/databasecustompathoverview/databasecustompathwindows.md

• Completeness — Line 20: Same temporary GitHub upload URL issue as above. Suggested fix: save the screenshot as a .webp under static/images/changetracker/8.1/install/deployment/ and reference it with an absolute /images/... path.
• Completeness — Line 18: Step 4 no longer shows an example of the dbpath value. Suggested fix: add a sample edited line, e.g. dbpath: "D:\ChangeTracker\Data".
• Clarity — Line 16: Step 3 doesn't say how to open mongod.cfg. Suggested fix: "Open the mongod.cfg file in a text editor with administrator privileges. The file is located in C:\Program Files\NNT Change Tracker Suite\Gen7\MongoDB\bin."

docs/changetracker/8.2/install/databasecustompathoverview/databasecustompathwindows.md

• Completeness — Line 20: Same temporary GitHub upload URL issue as above. Suggested fix: save the screenshot as a .webp under static/images/changetracker/8.2/install/deployment/ and reference it with an absolute /images/... path.
• Completeness — Line 18: Step 4 no longer shows an example of the dbpath value. Suggested fix: add a sample edited line, e.g. dbpath: "D:\ChangeTracker\Data".
• Clarity — Line 16: Step 3 doesn't say how to open mongod.cfg. Suggested fix: "Open the mongod.cfg file in a text editor with administrator privileges. The file is located in C:\Program Files\NNT Change Tracker Suite\Gen7\MongoDB\bin."

Summary

9 editorial suggestions across 3 files. The three files are identical, so each carries the same three suggestions. The most important item is the screenshot reference: all three now point to a temporary GitHub attachment URL rather than a versioned static/images/ asset, which risks a broken image in production. Vale and Dale issues are auto-fixed separately.

Skipped (needs manual review)	Reason

| docs/changetracker/8.0/install/databasecustompath/windows.md:16 — Dale: passive-voice | 'the mongod.cfg file located in' reads as passive, but 'located' functions as an idiomatic adjectival phrase here; rewording risks altering meaning/formatting for low benefit |
| docs/changetracker/8.1/install/databasecustompathoverview/databasecustompathwindows.md:16 — Dale: passive-voice | same as 8.0 — 'located in' is idiomatic; skipped to preserve meaning |
| docs/changetracker/8.2/install/databasecustompathoverview/databasecustompathwindows.md:16 — Dale: passive-voice | same as 8.0 — 'located in' is idiomatic; skipped to preserve meaning |
