+"""
+    AutoMooncakeForward
+
+Struct used to select the [Mooncake.jl](https://github.com/compintell/Mooncake.jl) backend for automatic differentiation in forward mode.
+
+Defined by [ADTypes.jl](https://github.com/SciML/ADTypes.jl).
+
+!!! info
+
+    This type was introduced when forward mode became available in Mooncake.jl. It was kept separate from [`AutoMooncake`](@ref) in order to avoid requiring a breaking release of ADTypes.jl.
+
+# Constructors
+
+    AutoMooncakeForward(; config=nothing)
+
+# Fields
+
+  - `config`: either `nothing` or an instance of `Mooncake.Config` -- see the docstring of `Mooncake.Config` for more information. `AutoForwardMooncake(; config=nothing)` is equivalent to `AutoForwardMooncake(; config=Mooncake.Config())`, i.e. the default configuration.
