-available bug report issue template. Before reporting a bug, make sure the
-issue has not already been reported.
-
-## Suggest a feature or enhancement
+## Create an issue
 
-To suggest a feature or enhancement, open an issue on GitHub with the label
-`feature` or `enhancement` using the available feature request issue template.
-Please ensure the feature or enhancement has not already been suggested.
+One way to contribute to the project is by [creating an issue](https://github.com/nginx/documentation/issues/new/choose).
 
-## Open a Discussion
+The two most common are enhancements and bug reports. When using the issue templates, they will be automatically labelled.
 
-If you want to start a conversation with the community and maintainers,
-we encourage you to use
-[GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/nginx/documentation/discussions).
+- An enhancement is an improvement of some kind, such as a new document or additional detail for a product feature
+- A bug report draws attention to an issue in documentation, such as an incorrect command or outdated information
 
-## Submit a Pull Request
+Before creating an issue, please check there is [no existing issue](https://github.com/nginx/documentation/issues?q=is%3Aissue) for the topic.
 
-To contribute to F5 NGINX documentation, follow these steps:
-
-- Fork the NGINX repository
-- Create a branch
-- Implement your changes in your branch
-- Submit a pull request (PR) when your changes are ready for review
+We encourage discussions within issues, since they act as a source of contextual truth and are linked to pull requests.
 
-Alternatively, you're welcome to suggest improvements to highlight problems with
-our documentation as described in our [support](./SUPPORT.md) page.
+## Start a discussion
 
-### Git style guide
+We encourage you to use [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/nginx/documentation/discussions) for conversations with the community and maintainers.
 
-- Keep a clean, concise and meaningful Git commit history on your branch, rebasing locally and squashing before you submit a PR
-- We use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/#summary) formatting.
-- Follow the guidelines of writing a good commit message as described here <https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/>
-  and summarized in the next few points:
+If you'd like to discuss something NGINX-related that doesn't involve documentation, you should go to the [NGINX Community Forum](https://community.nginx.org/). 
 
-  - In the subject line, use the present tense ("Add feature" not "Added feature")
-  - In the subject line, use the imperative mood ("Move cursor to..." not "Moves cursor to...")
-  - Limit the subject line to 72 characters or less
-  - Reference issues and pull requests liberally after the subject line
-  - Add more detailed description in the body of the git message (`git commit -a` to give you more space and time in
-    your text editor to write a good message instead of `git commit -am`)
+## Submit a pull request
 
-#### Branch protection rules
+Before making documentation changes, you should view the [documentation style guide](/documentation/style-guide.md) and [Managing content with Hugo](/documentation/writing-hugo.md).
 
-This repository has the following branch protection rules in place:
+To understand how we use Git in this repository, read our [Git conventions](/documentation/git-conventions.md) documentation.
 
-- **Pushing branches that contain the "internal/" prefix is not allowed.** This ensures internal development branches are not accidentally or purposefully pushed to this repo.
-- **Two approvers are required for all merges to main and release branches.** This ensures all code that is approved for release to production is appropriately reviewed. This rule applies to all branches with `*release*` in the branch name.
-- **Only NGINX DocOps Team members can create release branches.** This ensures the docs team is aware of all branches supporting specific product releases. This rule applies to all branches with `*release*` in the branch name.
-- **Pushes (force or otherwise) directly to main or release branches is not allowed.** Release branches serve as "main" for the release they are associated with. Restricting pushes directly to main and release branches ensures all content changes are reviewed and approved. This rule applies to all branches with `*release*` in the branch name and to "main".
+The broad workflow is as follows:
 
-### Documentation style guide
+- Fork the NGINX repository
+- Create a branch
+- Implement your changes in your branch
+- Submit a pull request (PR) when your changes are ready for review
 
-For detailed guidance, see our documentation [style guide](./templates/style-guide.md).
+Alternatively, you're welcome to suggest improvements to highlight problems with our documentation as described in our [support](./SUPPORT.md) page.
