After the issue is assigned to you, open a merge request to address it. If you've never contributed to the GitLab documentation before, view instructions for how to do it.
If you don't find an open issue to work on, you can still update the documentation.
Go to https://docs.gitlab.com and at the bottom of any page, select View page source or Edit in Web IDE.
You can also:
/doc
directory
and edit it from there.When you're developing code, the workflow for updating docs is slightly different.
