Tech writer review

Expand for Details

After the technical writer from the corresponding group is added as a reviewer to this merge request, they will perform their review.

Please mark a section as complete only after you performed all individual checks!

• Feature:
  • If the feature is listed as top or primary, review changes to features.yml. Ensure the category field contains the relevant categories from categories.yml.
  • If the feature is listed as secondary, updating features.yml is optional.
• Name/title:
  • Try to limit to 7 words (not including articles or prepositions).
  • Use sentence case.
• available_in: and gitlab_com:
  • Ensure available_in: is correct and matches the docs and features.yml if applicable.
  • Ensure gitlab_com: is accurately set to true or false.
• Documentation link:
  • Ensure the documentation_link links to the correct document and anchor, and is wrapped in single quotes. Not every release item links to an exact match in the documentation. Just ensure the link seems somewhat appropriate.
  • Do not link to the H1 (top) anchor on a docs page. Links should not redirect.
  • The documentation_link is wrapped in single quotes and name: "Lorem ipsum" wrapped in double quotes (for example, 'https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/#amazing').
• Image URL:
  • All top and primary features require an image (png, jpg, or gif) or video.
  • The image should be smaller than 150 KB.
• Video URL:
  • Use the /embed/ YouTube URL path and not the ?watch= parameter.
  • Ensure the PM has reviewed the captions for clarity.
• Links:
  • Make sure the linked issue_url or epic_url is correct.
  • Verify that all links and anchors work as intended. Links to pages on about.gitlab.com are given by the relative path, not absolute.
• Description:
  • Review the content. Make sure it accurately describes the feature based on your understanding.
  • Stay consistent with the documentation. All resources (docs, release post, features.yml, etc.) should refer to the feature the same way, including capitalization.
  • Look for typos or grammar mistakes.
  • Review use of whitespace and bulleted lists. Will the release post item be easily scannable when published? Consider adding line breaks or breaking content into bullets if you have more than a few sentences.
  • Avoid acronyms as much as possible.
  • Ensure code is wrapped in code blocks.
  • Remove unnecessary spaces (end of line spaces, double spaces, extra blank lines, and lines with only spaces).

Notes:

• If checklist items are incomplete, tell the PMs or other team members. You can remove yourself as a reviewer, but request to be added back after the missing tasks are done.
• After all checklist items are done, approve the merge request, select your checkbox in the review checklist, and remove yourself from the list of reviewers. Your job is done!
