Using spring.devtools.restart.enabled=false
disables livereload even if spring.devtools.livereload.enabled=true
.
Browser connects successfully to LiveReload, but changing files does not trigger reload.
Spring Boot 2.3.3.RELEASE

This is expected, the live reload feature need something to trigger it and means that restart needs to be enabled.

What project contains spring boot documentation? Is there any guide to update documentation?
Comment From: wilkinsona
The reference documentation is all in this repository in the spring-boot-docs
project. You can find the source for the existing docs on LiveReload here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/blob/3f1f830efee820d04460ce6a5ca88d3f130f3b5d/spring-boot-project/spring-boot-docs/src/docs/asciidoc/using-spring-boot.adoc#livereload. GitHub's built-in editor for Asciidoc source is quite good so you may want to use the Edit button. (top-right of the page) to edit the documentation in your browser. Alternatively, you can clone the code and change it in an editor of your choice on your machine.
