Dynamic zone populate queries get verbose as soon as a zone accepts many components. The Notum community plugin resolves the populate shape server-side, so the tip points readers to it from both the REST guide and the Document Service page.

The REST populate reference advises against populate=deep plugins. The tip now says explicitly that Smart Populate is not one, and points to that section.
Also joins a sentence that was split across two lines in the Document Service tip.

This PR adds a tip about Smart Populate, a community plugin, in the dynamic zone sections of the REST populate guide and of the Document Service populate page. The tip says what the plugin does, shows the
smarttoken in a REST query and in a Document Service call, notes that relations stay 1 level deep by default, states that it is not apopulate=deepplugin and links to the section that advises against those, and states that Strapi does not maintain the plugin.One thing to weigh before merging: the plugin is not listed on the Community Hub yet. It was submitted on 2026-08-27 and the review is still pending.
