Docs release per minor version, not point releases. The deprecated features index keeps 26.2.1 to match that table's exact-release format. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Cloud Topics no longer have an enable step; the section's task is setting the default storage mode. Update the internal cross-reference to the new anchor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Description
In v26.2.1, the
cloud_topics_enabledcluster config is deprecated (redpanda#30508, ENG-1179). Cloud Topics capabilities now activate automatically whencloud_storage_enabledistrue— no separate knob, no extra restart. Per-topic opt-in is unchanged (redpanda.storage.mode=cloud).Changes (all on the
beta/26.2 branch):develop/manage-topics/cloud-topics.adoc(single-sourced to cloud-docs): replaced the "Enable Cloud Topics" section (rpk set + restart NOTE) with a "Create Cloud Topics" section explaining that no separate property is needed when cloud storage is enabled. Added a version NOTE (ifndef::env-cloud) for readers on pre-26.2.1 clusters. Updated learning objective 2 to match.manage/kubernetes/k-cloud-topics.adoc: reworked the "Enable Cloud Topics" section into "Set the default storage mode" (there is no enable step anymore; the internal cross-reference on the page is updated to the new anchor): explains auto-enablement viacloud_storage_enabled, keeps the CR/Helm examples for the optionaldefault_redpanda_storage_mode: cloud, dropscloud_topics_enabled: truefrom both tabs, and switches verification torpk cluster config get cloud_storage_enabled. Bumped the Redpanda version prerequisite to v26.2.1 since the documented flow (no knob) requires it.upgrade/deprecated/index.adoc: added a 26.2.1 entry forcloud_topics_enabledwith the replacement guidance.docs-data/property-overrides.json: removed the now-obsoletecloud_topics_enabledoverride. The 26.2 property-docs regeneration at GA will move the property to the auto-generated deprecated list; the generated partial is intentionally untouched (never hand-edited).Deliberately not changed:
topics_frontend.ccstill reports "cloud topics" as an enterprise feature for any cloud topic; only the trigger changed (the topic itself rather than the restricted cluster config). The existing violation-behavior row stays accurate.gen-propsflow, not hand-edited here.Resolves DOC-2193 (consolidates DOC-2272, closed as duplicate)
