-# Documentation improvement workflow
-
-Anyone can contribute a merge request or create an issue for GitLab's documentation.
-
-This page covers the process for any contributions to GitLab's docs that are
-not part of feature development. If you are looking for information on updating
-GitLab's docs as is required with the development and release of a new feature
-or feature enhancement, see the [documentation process for feature changes](feature-change-workflow.md).
-
-## Who updates the docs
-
-Anyone can contribute! You can create a merge request with documentation
-when you find errors or other room for improvement in an existing doc, or when you
-have an idea for all-new documentation that would help a GitLab user or administrator
-to accomplish their work with GitLab.
-
-## How to update the docs
-
-1. Click "Edit this Page" at the bottom of any page on <https://docs.gitlab.com>, or navigate to
-   one of the repositories and doc paths listed on the [GitLab Documentation guidelines](index.md) page.
-   Work in a fork if you do not have developer access to the GitLab project.
-1. Follow the described standards and processes listed on that Guidelines page,
-   including the linked resources: the [Structure and template](structure.md) page, [Style Guide](styleguide.md), and [Markdown Guide](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/markdown-guide/).
-1. Follow GitLab's [Merge Request Guidelines](../contributing/merge_request_workflow.md#merge-request-guidelines).
-
-If you need any help to choose the correct place for a doc, discuss a documentation
-idea or outline, or request any other help, ping the technical writer for the relevant
-[DevOps stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages)
-in your issue or MR, or write within `#docs` if you are a member of GitLab's Slack workspace.
-
-## Review and merging
-
-Anyone with master access to the affected GitLab project can merge documentation changes.
-This person must make a good-faith effort to ensure that the content is clear
-(sufficiently easy for the intended audience to navigate and understand) and
-that it meets the [Documentation Guidelines](index.md) and [Style Guide](styleguide.md).
-
-If the author or reviewer has any questions, or would like a technical writer's review
-before merging, mention the writer who is assigned to the relevant [DevOps stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages).
-
-The process can involve the following parties/phases, and is replicated in the `Documentation` MR template for GitLab CE and EE, to help with following the process.
-
-**1. Primary Reviewer** - Review by a [code reviewer](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/projects/) or other appropriate colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.
-
-**2. Technical Writer** - Optional - If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request a pre-merge review, assign the writer listed for the applicable [DevOps stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages).
-To request a post-merge review, [create an issue for one using the Doc Review template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/new?issuable_template=Doc%20Review) and link it from the MR that makes the doc change.
-
-**3. Maintainer**
-
-1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
-1. Ensure a release milestone of the format XX.Y is set. If the freeze for that release has begun, add the label `pick into <XX.Y>` unless this change is not required for the release. In that case, simply change the milestone.
-1. If EE and CE MRs exist, merge the EE MR first, then the CE MR.
-1. After merging, if there has not been a technical writer review and an issue for a follow-up review was not already created and linked from the MR, [create the issue using the Doc Review template](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/new?issuable_template=Doc%20Review) and link it from the MR.
-
-## Other ways to help
-
-If you have ideas for further documentation resources that would be best
-considered/handled by technical writers, devs, and other SMEs, please [create an issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/new?issuable_template=Documentation)
-using the Documentation template.
