+# Release checklist
+
+For the upcoming release we need to verify our documentation. This is a best efforts activity
+so please refer to the checklist from the previous release and focus on pages that were not
+verified last time.
+
+## Verify pages
+
+- Look at the nightly build of each page listed below
+- Check page renders correctly
+- Check for spelling/grammar problems
+- Check that the instructions work as expected
+- Ensure legacy pages with out of date instructions have a content warning
+- If page needs updating convert the task to an issue and open a PR that closes the issue
