The Customer was confused by Step 4 in the documentation (no actual action was needed)

(Internal Ticket)

Snippet from relevant Slack discussion

Hello team! I have a question regarding [Install the GitLab Jira Cloud application manually for self-managed instances](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jira/connect-app.html#install-the-application-manually). I am confused with Step 4, which points to the Atlassian guide Step 3 Install and test your app, which is similar to our own guide (Step 5,6,7) . Is this step (4. Install the GitLab application from your self-managed GitLab instance) necessary? I’m afraid I could be missing something here .

Justin Ho 3 days ago Looking at the docs you linked, 5,6,7 are more of sub-points of 4. So your understanding is correct.

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.

When applicable:

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

  • 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.

For more information about labels, see Technical Writing workflows - Labels.

For suggestions that you are confident don't need to be reviewed, change them locally and push a commit directly to save others from unneeded reviews. For example:

  • Clear typos, like this is a typpo.
  • Minor issues, like single quotes instead of double quotes, Oxford commas, and periods.

For more information, see our documentation on Merging a merge request.

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.
