+### Why was this issue marked with the `please verify canary` label?
 
 We noticed the provided reproduction was using an older version of Next.js, instead of `canary`.
 
 The canary version of Next.js ships daily and includes all features and fixes that have not been released to the stable version yet. You can think of canary as a _public beta_. Some issues may already be fixed in the canary version, so please verify that your issue reproduces by running `npm install next@canary` and test it in your project, using your reproduction steps.
 
 If the issue does not reproduce with the `canary` version, then it has already been fixed and this issue can be closed.
 
-### **How can I quickly verify if my issue has been fixed in `canary`?**
+### How can I quickly verify if my issue has been fixed in `canary`?
 
 The safest way is to install `next@canary` in your project and test it, but you can also search through [closed Next.js issues](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed) for duplicates or check the [Next.js releases](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/releases). You can also use the GitHub templates (preferred) for [App Router](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template) and [Pages Router](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template-pages), or the [CodeSandbox: App Router](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template) or [CodeSandbox: Pages Router](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template-pages) templates to create a reproduction with `canary` from scratch.
 
-### **My issue has been open for a long time, why do I need to verify `canary` now?**
+### My issue has been open for a long time, why do I need to verify `canary` now?
 
 Next.js does not backport bug fixes to older versions of Next.js. Instead, we are trying to introduce only a minimal amount of breaking changes between major releases.

+### What happens if I don't verify against the canary version of Next.js?
 
 An issue with the `please verify canary` that receives no meaningful activity (e.g. new comments that acknowledge verification against `canary`) will be automatically closed and locked after 30 days.
 
 If your issue has not been resolved in that time and it has been closed/locked, please open a new issue, with the required reproduction, using `next@canary`.

 Anyone experiencing the same issue is welcome to provide a minimal reproduction following the above steps. Furthermore, you can upvote the issue using the :+1: reaction on the topmost comment (please **do not** comment "I have the same issue" without reproduction steps). Then, we can sort issues by votes to prioritize.

+### I think my reproduction is good enough, why aren't you looking into it quicker?
 
 We look into every Next.js issue and constantly monitor open issues for new comments.
 
 However, sometimes we might miss one or two due to the popularity/high traffic of the repository. We apologize, and kindly ask you to refrain from tagging core maintainers, as that will usually not result in increased priority.
 
 Upvoting issues to show your interest will help us prioritize and address them as quickly as possible. That said, every issue is important to us, and if an issue gets closed by accident, we encourage you to open a new one linking to the old issue and we will look into it.

 If you cannot create a clean reproduction, another way you can help the maintainers' job is to pinpoint the `canary` version of `next` that introduced the issue.

+We could not detect a valid reproduction link. **Make sure to follow the bug report template carefully.**
+
+### Why was this issue closed?
+
+To be able to investigate, we need access to a reproduction to identify what triggered the issue. We need a link to a **public** GitHub repository ([template for App Router](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template), [template for Pages Router](https://github.com/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template-pages)), but you can also use these templates: [CodeSandbox: App Router](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template) or [CodeSandbox: Pages Router](https://codesandbox.io/s/github/vercel/next.js/tree/canary/examples/reproduction-template-pages).
+
+The bug template that you filled out has a section called "Link to the code that reproduces this issue or a replay of the bug", which is where you should provide the link to the reproduction.
+
+- If you did not provide a link or the link you provided is not valid, we will close the issue.
+- If you provide a link to a private repository, we will close the issue.
+- If you provide a link to a repository but not in the correct section, we will close the issue.
+
+### What should I do?
+
+Depending on the reason the issue was closed, you can do the following:
+
+- If you did not provide a link, please open a new issue with a link to a reproduction.
+- If you provided a link to a private repository, please open a new issue with a link to a public repository.
+- If you provided a link to a repository but not in the correct section, please open a new issue with a link to a reproduction in the correct section.
+
+**In general, assume that we should not go through a lengthy onboarding process at your company code only to be able to verify an issue.**
+
+### My repository is private and cannot make it public
+
+In most cases, a private repo will not be a sufficient **minimal reproduction**, as this codebase might contain a lot of unrelated parts that would make our investigation take longer. Please do **not** make it public. Instead, create a new repository using the templates above, adding the relevant code to reproduce the issue. Common things to look out for:
+
+- Remove any code that is not related to the issue. (pages, API routes, components, etc.)
+- Remove any dependencies that are not related to the issue.
+- Remove any third-party service that would require us to sign up for an account to reproduce the issue.
+- Remove any environment variables that are not related to the issue.
+- Remove private packages that we do not have access to.
+- If the issue is not related to a monorepo specifically, try to reproduce the issue without a complex monorepo setup
