+# Reviewing Guidelines for the MongoDB Realm Documentation
+
+Realm Docs contributions typically go through two sets of reviewers:
+
+1. A **copy edit**, which focuses on structure and wording
+2. A **technical review**, which addresses code snippets and the
+   technical correctness of prose.
+
+## Technical Review
+
+Review the technical accuracy and completeness of a docs PR
+(Pull Request) and correct it if necessary.
+
+### What to Review
+
+- Code snippets
+- Technical claims, e.g. ("To create a `Foo`, use the `Bar.createFoo()` method")
+- Missing "footguns", i.e. potential pitfalls that could trip up users
+  who try to follow the documentation.
+
+### What Not to Review
+
+- Wording of sentences: while suggestions are appreciated, PRs
+  that have reached the technical review stage have already passed copy
+  editing. Copy edits are out of scope of technical reviews, unless they
+  directly relate to a technical claim.
+- Structure of the page: as with wording, structural changes are out of
+  scope and should never block approval of a technical review.
+- Any lines of the page that have not been touched in the PR,
+  unless they refer to content that has changed as a result of the PR or
+  fall within the scope of the PR's related JIRA ticket. If you do notice
+  an issue with content that's outside of the JIRA ticket's scope,
+  please mention it in the #docs-realm Slack channel or file a JIRA
+  ticket with the `DOCSP` project.
+
+## Copy Edits
+
+Review the structure, wording and flow of a docs PR and correct it if
+necessary.
+
+### What to Review
+
+- Wording
+- Page structure
+- Snooty Autobuilder build errors and warnings
+- Altered or added example app tests (if any have changed, CI should
+  automatically run)
+- Technical content from a "looks correct" perspective, since technical
+  review should address deeper concerns
+- Whether or not the PR fulfills the Acceptance Criteria described in the
+  linked JIRA ticket.
+
+### What Not to Review
+
+Very little is completely off-limits to a copy edit of a PR -- if you
+notice a technical issue, it's best to call it out early.
+However,
+copy editors should constrain their reviews to only content within the
+scope of the JIRA ticket.
