Propose Changes While Viewing Documentation

While viewing documentation, you can easily propose a change by selecting suggest edit from the menu under the GitHub icon. The page you are viewing then opens in GitHub, in edit mode. When you save your edits, you create a new branch and pull request, to have your changes reviewed by the Open edX team.
