Docs: Redo of Releases page

Suzanne Selhorn requested to merge selhorn-releases-redo into master

What does this MR do?

This is a revamp of the Releases page: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/releases/

Summary of changes:

  • Removed unnecessary screenshots (for example, if they were just showing the UI)
  • Resized/re-shot the remaining screenshots
  • Updated content to be task-based rather than reference-based ("How to", rather than "this field is for this")
  • Updated intro to summarize all the things you can currently do with releases
  • Clarified when something was UI vs API
  • Standardized capitalization
  • Fixed misspelled heading and updated links

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Optional: Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
