Help Wanted: Note Consistency and Standardization #4484
Comments
Hi @cwarnermm , I'm interested in learning more about what exactly is needed here so I could work on it? Thanks! |
Hi @davidylee! Thank you for your interest in this Mattermost documentation ticket! This ticket is all about standardizing how admonitions like Notes, Tips, Warnings, and Important are used throughout the product documentation, and identifying areas where inconsistencies need to be addressed. Admonitions in technical documentation give the reader useful, timely, or critical information that helps them succeed with a task or operation.
