At the bottom, add a line such as "For more information on X, see the documentation" linking to the full docs added above, in case the user wants to dive deeper. +* For both the full docs and the what's new documentation, do not simply create a new section; first check to see if there's an existing section that already covers related/similar functionality; if there is, either merge the new content into it or place the new section next to it. +* If the issue adds a function translation, add the appropriate entry (or entries) in the provider's functions page. Do not add functions entries for LINQ operators (e.g. `Contains`). + +## Additional instructions + +* The commit in the resulting PR should have a title of the form "Document X", where X is the name of the feature as it appears in the title of the originating issue. If the title is too long for a git commit, make it shorter. The commit body should be of the form "Document Y", where Y is a link to the originating issue.
