 ### Developing Intended Configuration Templates
 
-To help developers create the Jinja2 templates for generating a device's intended configuration, the app provides a REST API at `/api/plugins/golden-config/generate-intended-config/` and a simple web UI at `/plugins/golden-config/generate-intended-config/`. The REST API accepts a query parameter for `device_id` and returns the rendered configuration for the specified device using the templates from the device's golden config `jinja_repository` Git repository. This feature allows developers to test their configuration templates without running a full "intended configuration" job.
+To generate a device's intended configuration without running a full "intended configuration" job, Golden Config provides a simple web UI at `/plugins/golden-config/generate-intended-config/` and a REST API at `/api/plugins/golden-config/generate-intended-config/`. 
 
-Here's an example of how to request the rendered configuration for a device using the REST API:
+Note that this tool is only intended to render Jinja2 templates and does not apply any [configuration post-processing](./app_feature_config_postprocessing.md).
 
-```no-highlight
-curl -s -X GET \
-    -H "Accept: application/json" \
-    http://nautobot/api/plugins/golden-config/generate-intended-config/?device_id=231b8765-054d-4abe-bdbf-cd60e049cd8d
-```
+Using this tool to render a configuration will automatically retrieve the latest commit from the Jinja2 templates Git repository before rendering the template.
+
+#### Web UI
 
-The returned response will contain the rendered configuration for the specified device, the GraphQL data that was used, and if applicable, a diff of the most recent intended config that was generated by the **Intended Configuration** job. The web UI provides a simple form to interact with this REST API. You can access the web UI by clicking on "Generate Intended Config" in the "Tools" section of the Golden Config navigation menu.
+The web UI provides a user-friendly form to interact with the rendering process. You can access the web UI by clicking on "Generate Intended Config" in the "Tools" section of the Golden Config navigation menu.
 
-For more advanced use cases, the REST API and web UI also accept a `graphql_query_id` parameter to specify a custom GraphQL query to use when rendering the configuration. If a `graphql_query_id` is not provided, the default query configured in the Device's Golden Config settings will be used.
+For more advanced use cases, the form accepts an optional "GraphQL Query" to specify a custom GraphQL query to use when rendering the configuration. If a "GraphQL Query" is not provided, the default query configured in the Device's Golden Config settings will be used.
+
+Starting in Nautobot v2.4.2, this UI also allows you to supply a "Git Repository Branch" to specify the branch of the Jinja2 templates Git repository to use when rendering the configuration. If the branch is not provided, the configured branch of the Golden Config Setting's Jinja template Git repository will be used.
