Edit and submit change requests
- Locate the documentation project you want to contribute to on GitBook 
- Click on the edit button on the top right corner of the document 
- Make desired changes to the pages as needed 
- Once satisfied/done, click on request review button. Reviewer(s) will check out your changes, approve or request you to fix things in your submission as required. 
GitHub repository for documentation projects
Our GitBook community and project docs are synced to one GitHub repository, so that you can find them and edit them on GitHub too.

Engineering workflow: Git branch name & technical writing
