The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/warm-standby.html
Description:

Hello,

The documentation page about Log-Shipping Standby Servers after describing
that there are file-based log shipping and record-based log shipping
(streaming replication) states: "It should be noted that log shipping is
asynchronous, i.e., the WAL records are shipped after transaction commit.".
This statement is misleading because the same page includes a section about
configuring synchronous streaming replication. To avoid confusion, I think
it makes sense to specify that record-based log shipping can be configured
as either asynchronous or synchronous.
