[Bf-docboard] I would like to edit only one portion of the Manual

[Campbell Barton]

Firstly, if a minor change is causing an entire rebuild, something is wrong.
It should only be rebuilding the file you've changed.

It is possible to build a single chapter.

Using the Makefile you can run:
  make render

On Windows, we don't have a convenient way to do this yet, but the env
var can be set manually before calling sphinx-build:
   QUICKY_CHAPTERS=render sphinx-build .....
