## Clearer documentation with practical examples

For a better user experience, we updated our documentation to include detailed examples and best practices for using the Terraform Provider effectively. We outlined 5 key scenarios to guide you. The documentation found at [the Terraform registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/OctopusDeployLabs/octopusdeploy/latest/docs) now also has examples for all data sources and resources.

@Vvasudevan-octopus where it says "we updated our documentation" we should provide a link to the docs.


We resolved several long-standing bugs in this release. This improves the provider and ensures a more stable and reliable experience.

- New deployment process resource: We made it easier to define and manage deployment processes by making each step its own resource. We also introduced a step order resource so you can easily manage the deployment process step order. You can find out more info on how it works in the official docs.

### Provider migrated to Octopus Deploy repository

The Terraform provider has always lived in our OctopusDeployLabs repository, which signalled that it was an experimental integration. We decided to move it to our official repository, elevating it as a core integration.

The v1.0 release solidifies the Octopus Deploy Terraform provider as a robust tool for managing your Octopus instance as code. By simplifying resource management and improving documentation, teams can work more efficiently with the Terraform provider

For detailed information on all changes and enhancements, please read the docs or visit the Terraform registry page for the provider.
