Discussion and change requests

Discussion and change requests

A published blueprint has a place to talk about it, and a way to propose changing it.

Discussion

The Discussion tab holds topics. Anyone who can read the blueprint can open one; replies thread underneath. It is for questions and context: "why is this queue here", "is this still true after the migration".

Discussion never changes the blueprint.

Change requests

A change request proposes an edit to a blueprint you do not have edit rights on. It is the analogue of opening a pull request against someone else's repository.

StatusMeaning
OpenSubmitted, awaiting a decision
ApprovedAccepted, not yet applied
MergedApplied to the blueprint
RejectedDeclined
WithdrawnRetracted by whoever raised it

The AI docs agent files a change request rather than writing to a page directly. A person still has to merge it.

Reviews

Organisations can require review before publishing. Where that is configured, a publish becomes a submission and the blueprint waits in Reviews until someone with the right role approves it.
