+## A note for Issue and PR submitters
+
+PRs are merged first to the `main` branch of this repo.
+Periodically, the docs team will merge `main` into `latest`, which will make the changes visible on the docs site.
+Please be patient, as there may be a lag of several days before `main` is merged into `latest`. If you want to see your changes before they're merged to `latest`, you can see them on https://redis.io/docs/staging/dev/. 
+If your PR is urgent, let the docs team know in the PR comments, and we will do our best to accommodate.
