   ℹ️	Choose your reviewers carefully! If you have made changes to the technical detail of the documentation, choose an appropriate subject matter expert (SME) to review those changes. Additionally, every change requires at least one documentation team member to approve.

These standards ensure that our documentation is accurate, that PRs are not left to age, and that the source code remains clean. Ensure you follow these standards if you are participating in the SUSE Manager documentation repository.

• If you are still working on a PR, add [WIP] to the title of your PR. This allows people to review the PR, but notifies reviewers that you have not completed work.

• Only the original author should merge PRs, do not merge other author’s PRs unless you have express permission from them to do so.

• Do not merge a PR until you have received the following approvals:

  • For a technical change, approval from at least one SME

  • For all changes, approval from at least one other member of the documentation team
