Confidence Score: 4/5The incorrect exclusion of Mixpanel UI configuration should be corrected before merging. The option name is fixed correctly, but the new categorical guidance contradicts the same page’s supported remote configuration workflow.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The statement that init options are “not in the Mixpanel UI” contradicts this page’s Remote Configuration section, which says record_sessions_percent can be configured under Organization Settings for paid Session Replay customers using SDK 2.74.0 or later. These users may incorrectly conclude that sampling must be controlled only in source code.
Summary
Fixes recurring points of confusion surfaced by assistant conversations about Session Replay configuration and exporting session data.

Assistant query buckets showed repeated questions about the correct sampling option name (a docs typo confirmed the confusion) and about exporting session start/end times, which the docs did not address directly.
