=== Select a page to edit
If you have found something on a Docs page which you want to add, remove, change, or update, you will see three buttons on the top right

organized (repository structures). The buttons will forward you correspondingly.
Left of the buttons, you see the Fedora release (e.g., "F36") to which the Docs page you have opened relates to. Docs pages relate to a specific Fedora release, although changes/updates can apply to several releases' Docs pages. If the latter is the case just choose any version that needs the change/update. If you do not know what version the update applies to, then ignore it for the time being. The left button forwards to the version history of the opened Docs page and is *not* relevant for you. The middle button forwards to "edit the page" that is currently opened, which is what you have to click to put forward your suggested change/update. The right button forwards to "report an issue" if you only want to make us aware of some need to change/update without making this yourself. Click the middle ("edit the page") button to go ahead with putting forward your suggestions:
