+# Backporting
+
+This document explains how to backport a merged PR from `master` to one of the `stable*` branches.
+Backports should only be used to fix bugs or security issues - never to introduce new features.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Fix a bug through a PR that targets `master`.
+2. Add label `A4-needs-backport` to the PR.
+3. Merge the PR into `master`.
+4. Wait for the bot to open the backport PR.
+5. Ensure the change is audited or does not need audit.
+6. Merge the backport PR.
+
+The label can also be added after the PR is merged.
+
+## Example
+
+For example here where the dev triggered the process by adding the label after merging:
