| ## DevTools Documentation - How To Guide | |
| The documentation for Dart & Flutter DevTools lives on [flutter.dev](https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools). | |
| Our docs are written and pushed up to the [flutter/website](https://docs.flutter.dev/tools/devtools) | |
| repo by the Flutter DevRel team. Developers working on DevTools should collaborate with Flutter tech writers by following | |
| the below workflow. | |
| ## How to request documentation updates | |
| ### For simple updates: | |
| Some examples of "simple" updates include updating screenshots, glossary terms, coding recipes, etc. For this type of documentation request, you can include all the relevant information in a GitHub issue. Please follow | |
| the [guidance below](#file-an-issue-on-the-flutterwebsite-repo) to create this issue. | |
| ### For feature updates that can be shown in a demo video: | |
| 1. Create a [Screencast](chrome://extensions/?id=ccbdlfckiiklnpopmgihhnegpbcgceja) (preferred) or a Google Drive video | |
| explaining the new feature or functionality changes that require docs updates. If the feature is quick to document, you | |
| can include a rough draft of the documentation you think should be written, but where possible, we should leave the | |
| writing to our talented tech writers. | |
| 2. Create a Go Link pointed at your demo video. | |
| 3. Follow | |
| the [guidance below](#file-an-issue-on-the-flutterwebsite-repo) to create a GitHub issue. | |
| ### File an issue on the flutter/website repo: | |
| Create an [new issue](https://github.com/flutter/website/issues/new) on the flutter/website repository. | |
| - Add a descriptive title for your request. | |
| - Add the `devtools-request` label. | |
| - Add relevant information to the issue description. This may include | |
| a Go Link to your demo video or doc, a screenshot, a short description, | |
| or any other relevant context that our tech writers may need to fulfill | |
| your request. |
