Contributing to Windows UWP Reference Docs

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Windows UWP API docs. If you want to make updates to how-to topics for Windows UWP, go to https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-uwp.

Prerequisites

If you want to contribute more than just minor fixes (a line or two), you'll need to sign a Microsoft Contribution Licensing Agreement (CLA).

If you've already contributed to Microsoft GitHub projects in the past, congratulations! You've already completed this step.

Proposing a change

If you'd like to suggest a change to the docs, follow these steps:

  1. Click Edit. You will be redirected to the page's markdown source file in the GitHub repository.
  2. Modify the file as desired.
  3. Use the preview tab to ensure the changes look good.
  4. When you're done, commit your changes and open a pull request.

After you create the pull request, a member of the Windows docs team will review your changes and provide any feedback as needed.

Note: If you're a Microsoft employee, please see https://review.docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-authoring-guide/uwp/winrt-api/?branch=master.

Making more substantial changes

To make substantial changes to an existing article, add or change images, or contribute a new article, we recommend forking the official repo into your GitHub account, and then creating a local clone.
