  3. Check out the main branch and fetch the latest changes.
  4. Check out a new branch and make your changes.
  5. Save your changes and open a pull request.
  6. Add the @elastic/security-docs team and any other appropriate members as reviewers.

Preview documentation changes

When you open a pull request, preview links are automatically added as a comment in the PR. Once the CI check builds successfully, the links will be live and you can click them to preview your changes.

You also might want to add targeted links to help reviewers find specific pages related to your PR. Preview URLs include the following pattern (replace <YOUR_PR_NUMBER_HERE> with the PR number):
