-# Auto Deploy: quick start guide
-
-This is a step-by-step guide to deploying a project hosted on GitLab.com to Google Cloud, using Auto Deploy.
-
-We made a minimal [Ruby application](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/minimal-ruby-app) to use as an example for this guide. It contains two files:
-
-* `server.rb` - our application. It will start an HTTP server on port 5000 and render “Hello, world!”
-* `Dockerfile` - to build our app into a container image. It will use a ruby base image and run `server.rb`
-
-## Fork sample project on GitLab.com
-
-Let’s start by forking our sample application. Go to [the project page](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-examples/minimal-ruby-app) and press the `Fork` button. Soon you should have a project under your namespace with the necessary files.
-
-## Set up your own cluster on Google Kubernetes Engine
-
-If you do not already have a Google Cloud account, create one at https://console.cloud.google.com.
-
-Visit the [`Kubernetes Engine`](https://console.cloud.google.com/kubernetes/list) tab and create a new cluster. You can change the name and leave the rest of the default settings. Once you have your cluster running, you need to connect to the cluster by following the Google interface.
-
-## Connect to Kubernetes cluster
-
-You need to have the Google Cloud SDK installed. e.g.
-On OSX, install [homebrew](https://brew.sh):
-
-1. Install Brew Caskroom: `brew install caskroom/cask/brew-cask`
-1. Install Google Cloud SDK: `brew cask install google-cloud-sdk`
-1. Add `kubectl`: `gcloud components install kubectl`
-1. Log in: `gcloud auth login`
-
-Now go back to the Google interface, find your cluster, and follow the instructions under `Connect to the cluster` and open the Kubernetes Dashboard. It will look something like `gcloud container clusters get-credentials ruby-autodeploy \ --zone europe-west2-c --project api-project-XXXXXXX` and then `kubectl proxy`.
-
-![connect to cluster](img/guide_connect_cluster.png)
-
-## Copy credentials to GitLab.com project
-
-Once you have the Kubernetes Dashboard interface running, you should visit `Secrets` under the `Config` section. There you should find the settings we need for GitLab integration: ca.crt and token.
-
-![connect to cluster](img/guide_secret.png)
-
-You need to copy-paste the ca.crt and token into your project on GitLab.com in the Kubernetes integration page under project `Settings` > `Integrations` > `Project services` > `Kubernetes`. Don't actually copy the namespace though. Each project should have a unique namespace, and by leaving it blank, GitLab will create one for you.
-
-![connect to cluster](img/guide_integration.png)
-
-For API URL, you should use the `Endpoint` IP from your cluster page on Google Cloud Platform.
-
-## Expose the application to the internet
-
-In order to be able to visit your application, you need to install an NGINX ingress controller and point your domain name to its external IP address.
-
-### Set up Ingress controller
-
-You’ll need to make sure you have an ingress controller. If you don’t have one, do:
-
-```sh
-brew install kubernetes-helm
-helm init
-helm install --name ruby-app stable/nginx-ingress
-```
-
-This should create several services including `ruby-app-nginx-ingress-controller`. You can list your services by running `kubectl get svc` to confirm that.
-
-### Point DNS at Cluster IP
-
-Find out the external IP address of the `ruby-app-nginx-ingress-controller` by running:
-
-```sh
-kubectl get svc ruby-app-nginx-ingress-controller -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}'
-```
-
-Use this IP address to configure your DNS. This part heavily depends on your preferences and domain provider. But in case you are not sure, just create an A record with a wildcard host like `*.<your-domain>` pointing to the external IP address you found above.
-
-Use `nslookup minimal-ruby-app-staging.<yourdomain>` to confirm that domain is assigned to the cluster IP.
-
-## Set up Auto Deploy
-
-Visit the home page of your GitLab.com project and press "Set up Auto Deploy" button.
-
-![auto deploy button](img/auto_deploy_btn.png)
-
-You will be redirected to the "New file" page where you can apply one of the Auto Deploy templates. Select "Kubernetes" to apply the template, then in the file, replace `domain.example.com` with your domain name and make any other adjustments you need.
-
-![auto deploy template](img/auto_deploy_dropdown.png)
-
-Change the target branch to `master`, and submit your changes. This should create
-a new pipeline with several jobs. If you made only the domain name change, the
-pipeline will have three jobs: `build`, `staging`, and `production`.
-
-The `build` job will create a Docker image with your new change and push it to
-the GitLab Container Registry. The `staging` job will deploy this image on your
-cluster. Once the deploy job succeeds you should be able to see your application by
-visiting the Kubernetes dashboard. Select the namespace of your project, which
-will look like `ruby-autodeploy-23`, but with a unique ID for your project, and
-your app will be listed as "staging" under the "Deployment" tab.
-
-Once its ready - just visit http://minimal-ruby-app-staging.yourdomain.com to see “Hello, world!”

+## Using a registry with a custom certificate
+
+When trying to push to a Docker registry that uses a certificate that is signed

+description: How to add docs for new or enhanced GitLab features.
+---
+
+# Documentation process at GitLab
+
+At GitLab, developers contribute new or updated documentation along with their code, but product managers and technical writers also have essential roles in the process.
+
+- **Developers**: Author/update documentation in the same MR as their code, and
+merge it by the feature freeze for the assigned milestone. Request technical writer
+assistance if needed.
+- **Product Managers** (PMs): In the issue for all new and enhanced features,
+confirm the documentation requirements, plus the mentioned feature description
+and use cases, which can be reused in docs. They can bring in a technical
+writer for discussion or help, and can be called upon themselves as a doc reviewer.
+- **Technical Writers**: Review doc requirements in issues, track issues and MRs
+that contain docs changes, help with any questions throughout the authoring/editing process,
+and review all new and updated docs content after it's merged (unless a pre-merge
+review request is made).
+
+Beyond this process, any member of the GitLab community can also author documentation
+improvements that are not associated with a new or changed feature. See the [Documentation improvement workflow](improvement-workflow.md).
+
+## When documentation is required
+
+Documentation must be delivered whenever:
+
+- A new or enhanced feature is shipped that impacts the user/admin experience
+- There are changes to the UI or API
+- A process, workflow, or previously documented feature is changed
+- A feature is deprecated or removed
+
+Documentation is not required when a feature is changed on the backend
+only and does not directly affect the way that any user or
+administrator would interact with GitLab. For example, a UI restyling that offers
+no difference in functionality may require documentation updates if screenshots
+are now needed, or need to be updated.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+When revamping documentation, if unrelated to the feature change, this should be submitted
+in its own MR (using the [documentation improvement workflow](improvement-workflow.md))
+so that we can ensure the more time-sensitive doc updates are merged with code by the freeze.
+
+## Documenting a new or changed feature
+
+To follow a consistent workflow every month, documentation changes
+involve the Product Managers, the developer who shipped the feature,
+and the Technical Writing team. Each role is described below.
+
+### 1. Product Manager's role
+
+The Product Manager (PM) should confirm or add the following items in the issue:
+
+- New or updated feature name, overview/description, and use cases, all required per the [Documentation structure and template](structure.md).
+- The documentation requirements for the developer working on the docs.
+ - What new page, new subsection of an existing page, or other update to an existing page/subsection is needed.
+ - Just one page/section/update or multiple (perhaps there's an end user and admin change needing docs, or we need to update a previously recommended workflow, or we want to link the new feature from various places; consider and mention all ways documentation should be affected.
+ - Suggested title of any page or subsection, if applicable.
+- Label the issue with `Documentation` and `docs:P1` in addition to the `Deliverable` label and correct milestone.
+
+Anyone is welcome to draft the items above in the issue, but a product manager must review and update them whenever the issue is assigned a specific milestone.
+
+### 2. Developer's role
+
+As a developer, you must ship the documentation with the code of the feature that
+you are creating or updating. The documentation is an essential part of the product.
+
+- New and edited docs should be included in the MR introducing the code, and planned
+in the issue that proposed the feature. However, if the new or changed doc requires
+extensive collaboration or conversation, a separate, linked issue can be used for the planning process.
+- Use the [Documentation guidelines](index.md), as well as other resources linked from there,
+including the [Structure and template](structure.md) page, [Style Guide](styleguide.md), and [Markdown Guide](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/markdown-guide/).
+- 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` on the GitLab Slack.
+- The docs must be merged with the code **by the feature freeze date**, otherwise
+- the feature cannot be included with the release.<!-- TODO: Policy/process for feature-flagged issues -->
+
+Prior to merge, documentation changes commited by the developer must be reviewed by:
+* the person reviewing the code and merging the MR.
+* optionally: others involved in the work (such as other devs, the PM, or a technical writer), if requested.
+
+After merging, documentation changing are reviewed by:
+* a technical writer (for clarity, structure, grammar, etc).
+* optionally: by the PM (for accuracy and to ensure it's consistent with the vision for how the product will be used).
+Any party can raise the item to the PM for review at any point: the dev, the technical writer, or the PM, who can request/plan a review at the outset.
+
+### 3. Technical Writer's role
+
+**Planning**
+- Once an issue contains a Documentation label and an upcoming milestone, a
+technical writer reviews the listed documentation requirements, which should have
+already been reviewed by the PM. (These are non-blocking reviews; developers should
+not wait to work on docs.)
+- Monitor the documentation needs of issues assigned to the current and next milestone,
+and participate in any needed discussion on docs planning with the dev, PM, and others.
+
+**Review**
+- Techncial writers provide non-blocking reviews of all documentation changes,
+typically after the change is merged. However, if the docs are ready in the MR while
+we are awaiting other work in order to merge, the technical writer's review can commence early.
+- The technical writer will confirm that the doc is clear, grammatically correct,
+and discoverable, while avoiding redundancy, bad file locations, typos, broken links,
+etc. The technical writer will review the documentation for the following, which
+the developer and code reviewer should have already made a good-faith effort to ensure:
+ - Clarity.
+ - Relevance (make sure the content is appropriate given the impact of the feature).
+ - Location (make sure the doc is in the correct dir and has the correct name).
+ - Syntax, typos, and broken links.
+ - Improvements to the content.
+ - Accordance to the [Documentation Style Guide](styleguide.md) and [structure/template](structure.md).

+description: How to improve GitLab's documentation.
+---
+
+# 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 [feature-change documentation workflow](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 admin
+to achieve or improve their DevOps workflows.
+
+## How to update the docs
+
+- Follow the described standards and processes listed on the [GitLab Documentation guidelines](index.md) page,
+including 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/).
+- 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.
+
+## 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 techncial 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).
+
+## Technical Writer review
+
+The technical writing team reviews changes after they are merged, unless a prior
+review is requested.
+
+## 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.

Feature proposals (by GitLab contributors) should also be accompanied by its respective documentation. They can be later improved by PMs and Technical Writers.
-- **[Technical Articles](#technical-articles)**: written by any [GitLab Team](https://about.gitlab.com/team/) member, GitLab contributors, or [Community Writers](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/community-writers/).
-- **Indexes per topic**: initially prepared by the Technical Writing Team, and kept up-to-date by developers and PMs in the same merge request containing code. They gather all resources for that topic in a single page (user and admin documentation, articles, and third-party docs).
+GitLab's documentation is [intended as the single source of truth (SSOT)](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/documentation/) for information about how to configure, use, and troubleshoot GitLab. The documentation contains use cases and usage instructions covering every GitLab feature, organized by product area and subject. This includes topics and workflows that span multiple GitLab features, as well as the use of GitLab with other applications.
-## Contributing to docs
+In addition to this page, the following resources to help craft and contribute documentation are available:
+
+- [Style Guide](styleguide.md) - What belongs in the docs, language guidelines, and more.
+- [Structure and template](structure.md) - Learn the typical parts of a doc page and how to write each one.
+- [Workflow](workflow.md) - A landing page for our key workflows:
+ - [Feature-change documentation workflow](feature-change-workflow.md) - Adding required documentation when developing a GitLab feature.
+ - [Documentation improvement worflow](improvement-workflow.md) - New content not associated with a new feature.
+- [Markdown Guide](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/technical-writing/markdown-guide/) - A reference for the markdown implementation used by GitLab's documentation site and about.gitlab.com.
+- [Site architecture](site_architecture/index.md) - How docs.gitlab.com is built.
+
+## Source and rendered locations
-Whenever a feature is changed, updated, introduced, or deprecated, the merge
-request introducing these changes must be accompanied by the documentation
-(either updating existing ones or creating new ones). This is also valid when
-changes are introduced to the UI.
+Documentation for GitLab Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE), along with GitLab Runner and Omnibus, is published to [docs.gitlab.com](https://docs.gitlab.com). The documentation for CE and EE is also published within the application at `/help` on the domain of the GitLab instance.
-The one responsible for writing the first piece of documentation is the developer who
-wrote the code. It's the job of the Product Manager to ensure all features are
-shipped with its docs, whether is a small or big change. At the pace GitLab evolves,
-this is the only way to keep the docs up-to-date. If you have any questions about it,
-ask a Technical Writer. Otherwise, when your content is ready, assign one of
-them to review it for you.
+At `/help`, only content for your current edition and version is included, whereas multiple versions' content is available at docs.gitlab.com.
-We use the [monthly release blog post](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/blog/release-posts/#monthly-releases) as a changelog checklist to ensure everything
-is documented.
+The source of the documentation is maintained in the following repository locations:
-Whenever you submit a merge request for the documentation, use the
-"Documentation" MR description template. If you're changing documentation
-location, use the MR description template called "Change documentation
-location" instead.

+## Contributing to docs
+
+[Contributions to GitLab docs](workflow.md) are welcome from the entire GitLab community.
-## Documentation structure
+To ensure that GitLab docs keep up with changes to the product, special processes and responsibilities are in place concerning all [feature changes](feature-change-workflow.md)—i.e. development work that impacts the appearance, usage, or administration of a feature.

-## General Documentation vs Technical Articles
-
-### General documentation
-
-General documentation is categorized by _User_, _Admin_, and _Contributor_, and describe what that feature is, what it does, and its available settings.
-
-### Technical Articles
-
-Technical articles replace technical content that once lived in the [GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/), where they got out-of-date and weren't easily found.
-
-They are topic-related documentation, written with an user-friendly approach and language, aiming to provide the community with guidance on specific processes to achieve certain objectives.
-
-A technical article guides users and/or admins to achieve certain objectives (within guides and tutorials), or provide an overview of that particular topic or feature (within technical overviews). It can also describe the use, implementation, or integration of third-party tools with GitLab.
-
-They should be placed in a new directory named `/article-title/index.md` under a topic-related folder, and their images should be placed in `/article-title/img/`. For example, a new article on GitLab Pages should be placed in `doc/user/project/pages/article-title/` and a new article on GitLab CI/CD should be placed in `doc/ci/examples/article-title/`.
-
-#### Types of Technical Articles
-
-- **User guides**: technical content to guide regular users from point A to point B
-- **Admin guides**: technical content to guide administrators of GitLab instances from point A to point B
-- **Technical Overviews**: technical content describing features, solutions, and third-party integrations
-- **Tutorials**: technical content provided step-by-step on how to do things, or how to reach specific objectives
-
-#### Understanding guides, tutorials, and technical overviews
-
-Suppose there's a process to go from point A to point B in 5 steps: `(A) 1 > 2 > 3 > 4 > 5 (B)`.
-
-A **guide** can be understood as a description of certain processes to achieve a particular objective. A guide brings you from A to B describing the characteristics of that process, but not necessarily going over each step. It can mention, for example, steps 2 and 3, but does not necessarily explain how to accomplish them.
-
-- Live example: "[Static sites and GitLab Pages domains (Part 1)](../../user/project/pages/getting_started_part_one.md) to [Creating and Tweaking GitLab CI/CD for GitLab Pages (Part 4)](../../user/project/pages/getting_started_part_four.md)"
-
-A **tutorial** requires a clear **step-by-step** guidance to achieve a singular objective. It brings you from A to B, describing precisely all the necessary steps involved in that process, showing each of the 5 steps to go from A to B.
-It does not only describes steps 2 and 3, but also shows you how to accomplish them.
-
-- Live example (on the blog): [Hosting on GitLab.com with GitLab Pages](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/04/07/gitlab-pages-setup/)
-
-A **technical overview** is a description of what a certain feature is, and what it does, but does not walk
-through the process of how to use it systematically.
-
-- Live example (on the blog): [GitLab Workflow, an overview](https://about.gitlab.com/2016/10/25/gitlab-workflow-an-overview/)
-
-#### Special format
-
-Every **Technical Article** contains a frontmatter at the beginning of the doc
-with the following information:
-
-- **Type of article** (user guide, admin guide, technical overview, tutorial)
-- **Knowledge level** expected from the reader to be able to follow through (beginner, intermediate, advanced)
-- **Author's name** and **GitLab.com handle**
-- **Publication date** (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD)

-Every document should include the following content in the following sequence:
+Every feature or use case document should include the following content in the following sequence,
+with exceptions and details noted below and in the template included on this page.
-- **Feature name**: defines an intuitive name for the feature that clearly
- states what it is and is consistent with any relevant UI text.
-- **Feature overview** and description: describe what it is, what it does, and in what context it should be used.
-- **Use cases**: describes real use case scenarios for that feature.
-- **Requirements**: describes what software and/or configuration is required to be able to
- use the feature and, if applicable, prerequisite knowledge for being able to follow/implement the tutorial.
- For example, familiarity with GitLab CI/CD, an account on a third-party service, dependencies installed, etc.
- Link each one to its most relevant resource; i.e., where the reader can go to begin to fullfil that requirement.
- (Another doc page, a third party application's site, etc.)
-- **Instructions**: clearly describes the steps to use the feature, leaving no gaps.
-- **Troubleshooting** guide (recommended but not required): if you know beforehand what issues
- one might have when setting it up, or when something is changed, or on upgrading, it's
- important to describe those too. Think of things that may go wrong and include them in the
- docs. This is important to minimize requests for support, and to avoid doc comments with
- questions that you know someone might ask. Answering them beforehand only makes your
- document better and more approachable.
+- **Title**: Top-level heading with the feature name, or a use case name, which would start with
+a verb, like Configuring, Enabling, etc.
+- **Introduction**: A couple sentences about the subject matter and what's to be found on this page.
+- **Overview** Describe what it is, what it does, and in what context it should be used.
+- **Use cases**: describes real use case scenarios for that feature/configuration.
+- **Requirements**: describes what software, configuration, account, or knowledge is required.
+- **Instructions**: One or more sets of detailed instructions to follow.

+below.
-### Feature overview and use cases
+Note that you can include additional subsections, as appropriate, such as 'How it Works', 'Architecture',
+and other logicial divisions such as pre- and post-deployment steps.
-Every major feature (regardless if present in GitLab Community or Enterprise editions)
-should present, at the beginning of the document, two main sections: **overview** and
-**use cases**. Every GitLab EE-only feature should also contain these sections.
-
-**Overview**: as the name suggests, the goal here is to provide an overview of the feature.
-Describe what is it, what it does, why it is important/cool/nice-to-have,
-what problem it solves, and what you can do with this feature that you couldn't
-do before.
-
-**Use cases**: provide at least two, ideally three, use cases for every major feature.

-- EE-only: [Geo](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/geo/replication/index.html)
-- EE-only: [Jenkins integration](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/integration/jenkins.html)

-### Discoverability
-
-Your new document will be discoverable by the user only if:
-
-- Crosslinked from the higher-level index (e.g., Issue Boards docs
- should be linked from Issues; Prometheus docs should be linked from
- Monitoring; CI/CD tutorials should be linked from CI/CD examples).
- - When referencing other GitLab products and features, link to their
- respective docs; when referencing third-party products or technologies,
- link out to their external sites, documentation, and resources.
-- The headings are clear. E.g., "App testing" is a bad heading, "Testing
- an application with GitLab CI/CD" is much better. Think of something
- someone will search for and use these keywords in the headings.

-# Documentation process at GitLab
+# Documentation workflows at GitLab
-At GitLab, developers contribute new or updated documentation along with their code, but product managers and technical writers also have essential roles in the process.
+Documentation workflows at GitLab differ depending on the reason for the change. The two types of documentation changes are:
-- Product Managers (PMs): in the issue for all new and updated features,
- PMs include specific documentation requirements that the developer who is
- writing or updating the docs must meet, along with feature descriptions
- and use cases. They call out any specific areas where collaborating with
- a technical writer is recommended, and usually act as the first reviewer
- of the docs.
-- Developers: author documentation and merge it on time (up to a week after
- the feature freeze).
-- Technical Writers: review each issue to ensure PM's requirements are complete,
- help developers with any questions throughout the process, and act as the final
- reviewer of all new and updated docs content before it's merged.
-
-## Requirements
-
-Documentation must be delivered whenever:
-
-- A new feature is shipped
-- There are changes to the UI
-- A process, workflow, or previously documented feature is changed
-
-Documentation is not required when a feature is changed on the backend
-only and does not directly affect the way that any regular user or
-administrator would interact with GitLab.
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-When refactoring documentation, it should be submitted in its own MR.
-**Do not** join new features' MRs with refactoring existing docs, as they might have
-different priorities.
-
-NOTE: **Note:**
-[Smaller MRs are better](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/blog-posts/issues/185#note_4401010)! Do not mix subjects, and ship the smallest MR possible.
-
-### Documentation review process
-
-The docs shipped by the developer should be reviewed by the PM (for accuracy) and a Technical Writer (for clarity and structure).
-
-#### Documentation updates that require Technical Writer review
-
-Every documentation change that meets the criteria below must be reviewed by a Technical Writer
-to ensure clarity and discoverability, and avoid redundancy, bad file locations, typos, broken links, etc.
-Within the GitLab issue or MR, ping the relevant technical writer for the subject area. If you're not sure who that is,
-ping any of them or all of them (`@gl\-docsteam`).
-
-A Technical Writer must review documentation updates that involve:
-
-- Docs introducing new features
-- Changing documentation location
-- Refactoring existing documentation
-- Creating new documentation files
-
-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 a Technical Writer on your issue, MR,
-or on Slack in `#docs`.
-
-#### Skip the PM's review

-When there's a non-significant change to the docs, you can skip the review
-of the PM. Add the same labels as you would for a regular doc change and
-assign the correct milestone. In these cases, assign a Technical Writer
-for approval/merge, or mention `@gl\-docsteam` in case you don't know
-which Tech Writer to assign for.
-
-#### Skip the entire review
-
-When the MR only contains corrections to the content (typos, grammar,
-broken links, etc), it can be merged without the PM's and Tech Writer's review.
-
-## Documentation structure
-
-Read through the [documentation structure](structure.md) docs for an overview.
-
-## Documentation workflow
-
-To follow a consistent workflow every month, documentation changes
-involve the Product Managers, the developer who shipped the feature,
-and the Technical Writing team. Each role is described below.
-
-### 1. Product Manager's role in the documentation process
-
-The Product Manager (PM) should add to the feature issue:
-
-- Feature name, overview/description, and use cases, for the [documentation blurb](structure.md#documentation-blurb)
-- The documentation requirements for the developer working on the docs
- - What new page, new subsection of an existing page, or other update to an existing page/subsection is needed.
- - Just one page/section/update or multiple (perhaps there's an end user and admin change needing docs, or we need to update a previously recommended workflow, or we want to link the new feature from various places; consider and mention all ways documentation should be affected
- - Suggested title of any page or subsection, if applicable
-- Label the issue with `Documentation`, `Deliverable`, `docs:P1`, and assign
- the correct milestone
-
-### 2. Developer's role in the documentation process
-
-As a developer, or as a community contributor, you should ship the documentation
-with the feature, as in GitLab the documentation is part of the product.
-
-The docs can either be shipped along with the MR introducing the code, or,
-alternatively, created from a follow-up issue and MR.
-
-The docs should be shipped **by the feature freeze date**. Justified
-exceptions are accepted, as long as the [following process](#documentation-shipped-late)
-and the missed-deliverable due date (the 14th of each month) are both respected.
-
-#### Documentation shipped in the feature MR
-
-The developer should add to the feature MR the documentation containing:
-
-- The [documentation blurb](structure.md#documentation-blurb): copy the
- feature name, overview/description, and use cases from the feature issue
-- Instructions: write how to use the feature, step by step, with no gaps.
-- [Crosslink for discoverability](structure.md#discoverability): link with
- internal docs and external resources (if applicable)
-- Index: link the new doc or the new heading from the higher-level index
- for [discoverability](#discoverability)
-- [Screenshots](styleguide.md#images): when necessary, add screenshots for:
- - Illustrating a step of the process
- - Indicating the location of a navigation menu
-- Label the MR with `Documentation`, `Deliverable`, `docs-P1`, and assign
- the correct milestone
-- Assign the PM for review
-- When done, mention the `@gl\-docsteam` in the MR asking for review
-- **Due date**: feature freeze date and time
-
-#### Documentation shipped in a follow-up MR
-
-If the docs aren't being shipped within the feature MR:
-
-- Create a new issue mentioning "docs" or "documentation" in the title (use the Documentation issue description template)
-- Label the issue with: `Documentation`, `Deliverable`, `docs-P1`, `<product-label>`
- (product label == CI/CD, Pages, Prometheus, etc)
-- Add the correct milestone
-- Create a new MR for shipping the docs changes and follow the same
- process [described above](#documentation-shipped-in-the-feature-mr)
-- Use the MR description template called "Documentation"
-- Add the same labels and milestone as you did for the issue
-- Assign the PM for review
-- When done, mention the `@gl\-docsteam` in the MR asking for review
-- **Due date**: feature freeze date and time
-
-#### Documentation shipped late
-
-Shipping late means that you are affecting the whole feature workflow
-as well as other teams' priorities (PMs, tech writers, release managers,
-release post reviewers), so every effort should be made to avoid this.
-
-If you did not ship the docs within the feature freeze, proceed as
-[described above](#documentation-shipped-in-a-follow-up-mr) and,
-besides the regular labels, include the labels `Pick into X.Y` and
-`missed-deliverable` in the issue and the MR, and assign them the correct
-milestone.
-
-The **due date** for **merging** `missed-deliverable` MRs is on the
-**14th** of each month.
-
-### 3. Technical Writer's role in the documentation process
-
-- **Planning**
- - Once an issue contains a Documentation label and the current milestone, a
- technical writer reviews the Product Manager's documentation requirements.
- - Once the documentation requirements are approved, the technical writer can
- work with the developer to discuss any documentation questions and plans/outlines, as needed.
-
-- **Review** - A technical writer must review the documentation for:
- - Clarity
- - Relevance (make sure the content is appropriate given the impact of the feature)
- - Location (make sure the doc is in the correct dir and has the correct name)
- - Syntax, typos, and broken links
- - Improvements to the content
- - Accordance to the [docs style guide](styleguide.md)
-
-<!-- TBA: issue and MR description templates as part of the process -->
-
-<!--
-## New features vs feature updates
-
-- TBA:
- - Describe the difference between new features and feature updates
- - Creating a new doc vs updating an existing doc
--->
+- [Feature-change documentation workflow](feature-change-workflow.md) - The documentation is being created or updated as part of the development and release of a new or enhanced feature. This process involves the developer of the feature (who includes new/updated documentation files as part of the same merge request containing the feature's code) and also involves the product manager and technical writer who are listed for the feature's [DevOps stage](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/product/categories/#devops-stages).
+- [Documentation improvement workflow](improvement-workflow.md) - All documentation additions not associated with a feature release. Documentation is being created or updated to improve accuracy, completeness, ease of use, or any reason other than a feature change. Anyone (and everyone) can contribute a merge request for this type of change at any time.

+
+Make sure you view this update guide from the branch (version) of GitLab you would
+like to install (e.g., `11-7-stable`. You can select the branch in the version
+dropdown at the top left corner of GitLab (below the menu bar).
+
+If the highest number stable branch is unclear please check the
+[GitLab Blog](https://about.gitlab.com/blog/archives.html) for installation
+guide links by version.
+
+### 1. Stop server
+
+```bash
+sudo service gitlab stop
+```
+
+### 2. Backup
+
+NOTE: If you installed GitLab from source, make sure `rsync` is installed.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:create RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+### 3. Update Ruby
+
+NOTE: Beginning in GitLab 11.0, we only support Ruby 2.4 or higher, and dropped
+support for Ruby 2.3. Be sure to upgrade if necessary.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `ruby -v`.
+
+Download Ruby and compile it:
+
+```bash
+mkdir /tmp/ruby && cd /tmp/ruby
+curl --remote-name --progress https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.5/ruby-2.5.3.tar.gz

+
+./configure --disable-install-rdoc
+make
+sudo make install
+```
+
+Install Bundler:
+
+```bash
+sudo gem install bundler --no-document
+```
+
+### 4. Update Node
+
+GitLab utilizes [webpack](http://webpack.js.org) to compile frontend assets.
+This requires a minimum version of node v6.0.0.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `node -v`. If you are running
+a version older than `v6.0.0` you will need to update to a newer version. You
+can find instructions to install from community maintained packages or compile
+from source at the nodejs.org website.
+
+<https://nodejs.org/en/download/>
+
+GitLab also requires the use of yarn `>= v1.2.0` to manage JavaScript
+dependencies.
+
+```bash
+curl --silent --show-error https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install yarn
+```
+
+More information can be found on the [yarn website](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install).
+
+### 5. Update Go
+
+NOTE: GitLab 11.4 and higher only supports Go 1.10.x and newer, and dropped support for Go
+1.9.x. Be sure to upgrade your installation if necessary.
+
+You can check which version you are running with `go version`.
+
+Download and install Go:
+
+```bash
+# Remove former Go installation folder
+sudo rm -rf /usr/local/go
+
+curl --remote-name --progress https://dl.google.com/go/go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+echo 'a035d9beda8341b645d3f45a1b620cf2d8fb0c5eb409be36b389c0fd384ecc3a go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz' | shasum -a256 -c - && \

+sudo ln -sf /usr/local/go/bin/{go,godoc,gofmt} /usr/local/bin/
+rm go1.10.5.linux-amd64.tar.gz
+```
+
+### 6. Get latest code
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --prune
+sudo -u git -H git checkout -- db/schema.rb # local changes will be restored automatically

+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H git checkout 11-7-stable-ee
+```
+
+### 7. Update gitlab-shell
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-shell
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags --prune
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_SHELL_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H bin/compile
+```
+
+### 8. Update gitlab-workhorse
+
+Install and compile gitlab-workhorse. GitLab-Workhorse uses
+[GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/).
+If you are not using Linux you may have to run `gmake` instead of
+`make` below.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-workhorse
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags --prune
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_WORKHORSE_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 9. Update Gitaly
+
+#### Check Gitaly configuration
+
+Due to a bug in the `rake gitlab:gitaly:install` script your Gitaly
+configuration file may contain syntax errors. The block name
+`[[storages]]`, which may occur more than once in your `config.toml`
+file, should be `[[storage]]` instead.
+
+```shell
+sudo -u git -H sed -i.pre-10.1 's/\[\[storages\]\]/[[storage]]/' /home/git/gitaly/config.toml
+```
+
+#### Compile Gitaly
+
+```shell
+cd /home/git/gitaly
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags --prune
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITALY_SERVER_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 10. Update gitlab-pages
+
+#### Only needed if you use GitLab Pages
+
+Install and compile gitlab-pages. GitLab-Pages uses
+[GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/).
+If you are not using Linux you may have to run `gmake` instead of
+`make` below.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab-pages
+
+sudo -u git -H git fetch --all --tags --prune
+sudo -u git -H git checkout v$(</home/git/gitlab/GITLAB_PAGES_VERSION)
+sudo -u git -H make
+```
+
+### 11. Update MySQL permissions
+
+If you are using MySQL you need to grant the GitLab user the necessary
+permissions on the database:
+
+```bash
+mysql -u root -p -e "GRANT TRIGGER ON \`gitlabhq_production\`.* TO 'git'@'localhost';"
+```
+
+If you use MySQL with replication, or just have MySQL configured with binary logging,
+you will need to also run the following on all of your MySQL servers:
+
+```bash
+mysql -u root -p -e "SET GLOBAL log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;"
+```
+
+You can make this setting permanent by adding it to your `my.cnf`:
+
+```
+log_bin_trust_function_creators=1
+```
+
+### 12. Update configuration files
+
+#### New `unicorn.rb` configuration
+
+We have made [changes](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/22372) to `unicorn.rb` to allow GitLab run with both Unicorn and Puma in future.
+
+Make `/home/git/gitlab/config/unicorn.rb` the same as https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/11-7-stable/config/unicorn.rb.example but with your settings.
+In particular, make sure that `require_relative "/home/git/gitlab/lib/gitlab/cluster/lifecycle_events"` line exists and the `before_exec`, `before_fork`, and `after_fork` handlers are configured as shown below:
+
+```ruby
+require_relative "/home/git/gitlab/lib/gitlab/cluster/lifecycle_events"
+
+before_exec do |server|
+ # Signal application hooks that we're about to restart
+ Gitlab::Cluster::LifecycleEvents.do_master_restart
+end
+
+before_fork do |server, worker|
+ # Signal application hooks that we're about to fork
+ Gitlab::Cluster::LifecycleEvents.do_before_fork
+end
+
+after_fork do |server, worker|
+ # Signal application hooks of worker start
+ Gitlab::Cluster::LifecycleEvents.do_worker_start
+end
+```
+
+#### New configuration options for `gitlab.yml`
+
+There might be configuration options available for [`gitlab.yml`][yaml]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `gitlab.yml`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/11-6-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example origin/11-7-stable:config/gitlab.yml.example
+```
+
+#### Nginx configuration
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest NGINX configuration changes:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# For HTTPS configurations
+git diff origin/11-6-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl origin/11-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab-ssl
+
+# For HTTP configurations
+git diff origin/11-6-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab origin/11-7-stable:lib/support/nginx/gitlab
+```
+
+If you are using Strict-Transport-Security in your installation to continue using it you must enable it in your Nginx
+configuration as GitLab application no longer handles setting it.
+
+If you are using Apache instead of NGINX please see the updated [Apache templates].
+Also note that because Apache does not support upstreams behind Unix sockets you
+will need to let gitlab-workhorse listen on a TCP port. You can do this
+via [/etc/default/gitlab].
+
+[Apache templates]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-recipes/tree/master/web-server/apache
+[/etc/default/gitlab]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/11-7-stable/lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example#L38
+
+#### SMTP configuration
+
+If you're installing from source and use SMTP to deliver mail, you will need to add the following line
+to config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb:
+
+```ruby
+ActionMailer::Base.delivery_method = :smtp
+```
+
+See [smtp_settings.rb.sample] as an example.
+
+[smtp_settings.rb.sample]: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/11-7-stable/config/initializers/smtp_settings.rb.sample#L13
+
+#### Init script
+
+There might be new configuration options available for [`gitlab.default.example`][gl-example]. View them with the command below and apply them manually to your current `/etc/default/gitlab`:
+
+```sh
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+git diff origin/11-6-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example origin/11-7-stable:lib/support/init.d/gitlab.default.example
+```
+
+Ensure you're still up-to-date with the latest init script changes:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo cp lib/support/init.d/gitlab /etc/init.d/gitlab
+```
+
+For Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+```
+
+### 13. Install libs, migrations, etc.
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+# MySQL installations (note: the line below states '--without postgres')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without postgres development test --deployment
+
+# PostgreSQL installations (note: the line below states '--without mysql')
+sudo -u git -H bundle install --without mysql development test --deployment
+
+# Optional: clean up old gems
+sudo -u git -H bundle clean
+
+# Run database migrations
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
+
+# Compile GetText PO files
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gettext:compile RAILS_ENV=production
+
+# Update node dependencies and recompile assets
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake yarn:install gitlab:assets:clean gitlab:assets:compile RAILS_ENV=production NODE_ENV=production
+
+# Clean up cache
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake cache:clear RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+**MySQL installations**: Run through the `MySQL strings limits` and `Tables and data conversion to utf8mb4` [tasks](../install/database_mysql.md).
+
+### 14. Start application
+
+```bash
+sudo service gitlab start
+sudo service nginx restart
+```
+
+### 15. Check application status
+
+Check if GitLab and its environment are configured correctly:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+To make sure you didn't miss anything run a more thorough check:
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+If all items are green, then congratulations, the upgrade is complete!
+
+## Things went south? Revert to previous version (11.6)
+
+### 1. Revert the code to the previous version
+
+Follow the [upgrade guide from 11.5 to 11.6](11.5-to-11.6.md), except for the
+database migration (the backup is already migrated to the previous version).
+
+### 2. Restore from the backup
+
+```bash
+cd /home/git/gitlab
+
+sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:backup:restore RAILS_ENV=production
+```
+
+If you have more than one backup `*.tar` file(s) please add `BACKUP=timestamp_of_backup` to the command above.

> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/41766) in GitLab 11.7.
-Releases mark specific points in a project's development history, communicate
-information about the type of change, and deliver on prepared, often compiled,
-versions of the software to be reused elsewhere. Currently, releases can only be
-created through the API.
+It's typical to create a [Git tag](../../university/training/topics/tags.md) at
+the moment of release to introduce a checkpoint in your source code
+history, but in most cases your users will need compiled objects or other
+assets output by your CI system to use them, not just the raw source
+code.
-Navigate to **Project > Releases** in order to see the list of releases of a project.
+GitLab's **Releases** are a way to track deliverables in your project. Consider them
+a snapshot in time of the source, build output, and other metadata or artifacts
+associated with a released version of your code.
+
+At the moment, you can create Release entries via the [Releases API](../../api/releases.md);
+we recommend doing this as one of the last steps in your CI/CD release pipeline.
+
+## Getting started with Releases
+
+Start by giving a [description](#release-description) to the Release and
+including its [assets](#release-assets), as follows.
+
+### Release description
+
+Every Release has a description. You can add any text you like, but we recommend
+including a changelog to describe the content of your release. This will allow
+your users to quickly scan the differences between each one you publish.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+[Git's tagging messages](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Tagging) and
+Release descriptions are unrelated. Description supports [markdown](../markdown.md).
+
+### Release assets
+
+You can currently add the following types of assets to each Release:
+
+- [Source code](#source-code): state of the repo at the time of the Release
+- [Links](#links): to content such as built binaries or documentation
+
+GitLab will support more asset types in the future, including objects such
+as pre-built packages, compliance/security evidence, or container images.
+
+#### Source code
+
+GitLab automatically generate `zip`, `tar.gz`, `tar.bz2` and `tar`
+archived source code from the given Git tag. These are read-only assets.
+
+#### Links
+
+A link is any URL which can point to whatever you like; documentation, built
+binaries, or other related materials. These can be both internal or external
+links from your GitLab instance.
+
+## Releases list
+
+Navigate to **Project > Releases** in order to see the list of releases for a given
+project.
