@rayana can you review this? I added a title to the link to make it accessible, but I wonder if it would be better to go with something simple like documentation?

The table above is limited to 10 entries. Please look at the full report for more details

---

Your MR has at least one entrypoint growing significantly (more > 1 KB or 2%). If you write new or extend existing features, this is expected and there is nothing to worry about.

Please consider pinging someone from the FE Foundations (@dmishunov, @justin_ho, @mikegreiling or @nmezzopera) for review, if you are unsure about the size increase.

Note: We do not have exact data for e3a60158. So we have used data from: dcae7e29.
The target commit was too new, so we used the latest commit from master we have info on.
It might help to rerun the bundle-size-review job
This might mean that you have a few false positives in this report. If something unrelated to your code changes is reported, you can check this comparison in order to see if they caused this change.

Please look at the full report for more details
