+# Instructions for Writing Pull Request Descriptions
+
+A well-written pull request description helps reviewers understand the context and purpose of your changes, making it easier to provide feedback and approve your pull request.
+
+Checklist:
+
+- [ ] Use the GitHub pull request URL. If not provided, ask the user for the correct link.
+- [ ] Compare all changes against the target branch.
+- [ ] Review commit messages in the pull request for additional context.
+- [ ] Summarize and provide an overview of the changes.
+- [ ] Highlight key changes and their impact.
+- [ ] Mention any specific areas that need review or attention.
+- [ ] Identify any potential risks or issues.
+- [ ] Provide separate descriptions for controller (PLC) and higher level framework changes if applicable.
+- [ ] Include any relevant screenshots or code snippets if they help illustrate the changes.
+- [ ] Ensure the description is clear, concise, and free of jargon.
+- [ ] Use bullet points or numbered lists for better readability.
+- [ ] Mention any dependencies or related pull requests.
+- [ ] Specify the testing performed and any additional testing required.
+- [ ] Indicate if documentation updates are needed.
+- [ ] Note any configuration changes required.
+- [ ] Mention if any new tools or libraries were introduced.
+- [ ] Identify any possible backward compatibility issues.
+- [ ] Avoid including information already present on the GitHub pull request page.
+- [ ] Save the description to CHANGELOG.md if applicable.
+- [ ] Link to relevant issues and/or other pull requests if applicable.

+### Misc improvements ([#755](https://github.com/Inxton/AXOpen/pull/755))
+
+**Note:** UI and dialog refactoring, as well as package version bumps, may affect backward compatibility for customizations or integrations.
+
+
+
+- feat: Added Aventics pneumatic island GSDMLs (V2.3 & V2.34) for Siemens PLC integration
+- feat: DotnetIxr Cake helper for executing `dotnet ixr` across folders
+- feat: Added multi-root workspace file (`ctrl-workspace.code-workspace`) for control projects
+- feat: Localization resource files (.resx) for Blazor, Data, Inspectors, IO, and component libraries
+- refactor: Improved layouts in `AxoComponentView` and `AxoMessengerView`; updated help text formatting
+- refactor: Dialog subsystem—better error handling and initialization
+- chore: Bumped AXSharp.* to 0.40.1-alpha.287 and Inxton.Operon to 0.2.0-alpha.87
+- misc: Improved logging and message consistency across modules
+- fix: Minor stability and quality adjustments
+
+**Impact:**
+- Easier onboarding for pneumatic islands
+- Faster interface generation via ixr helper
+- Cleaner UI and improved operator/developer experience
+- Foundation for multilingual deployments
+- Larger solution surface mainly from resource and GSDML XML additions
+
+**Risks/Review:**
+- Validate GSDML XMLs in engineering tools
+- Confirm resource file conventions
+- Test DotnetIxr helper in CI
+- Check UI for regressions
+
+**Testing:**
+- Manual validation implied; further import/build/smoke tests recommended
