The [Contributing docs](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/community/contributing/index.html)
also have important information on the PR workflow and the code style we use.
### Document your changes
If your pull request adds methods, properties or signals that are exposed to

are merged.

Follow the style guide described in the
[Docs writing guidelines](https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/community/contributing/docs_writing_guidelines.html).
