 The Backstage development environment does not require any specific editor, but it is intended to be used with one that has built-in linting and type-checking. The development server does not include any checks by default, but they can be enabled using the `--check` flag. Note that using the flag may consume more system resources and slow things down.
 
+## Documentation Guidelines
+
+Contributing to the docs is one of the best ways to start getting involved with Backstage. The documentation site is often the first stop for anyone using or exploring Backstage, so even small improvements can have a big impact!
+
+To help your changes get reviewed and merged smoothly, please keep the following in mind:
+
+- Try to group related updates into a single pull request. For example, if you notice missing admonitions or outdated information in a section, feel free to update all of it together. This makes it easier for maintainers to review your contribution in context.
+
+- We really appreciate contributions that improve clarity or fix outdated information. That said, we generally don’t accept changes that are purely stylistic (e.g., rewording a sentence just to tweak the tone or phrasing). If something is **unclear**, **confusing**, or **factually inaccurate**, those are great opportunities to help!
+
+Ready to get started? You can find all the documentation files in the [docs](docs) directory! If you have any questions or need help, feel free to reach out in the [Backstage Discord Docs Channel](https://discord.com/channels/687207715902193673/687994765559463940)

 ### Contribute to Storybook
 
 We think the best way to ensure different plugins provide a consistent experience is through a solid set of reusable UI/UX components. Backstage uses [Storybook](http://backstage.io/storybook).
