     * Add a new section to the existing release notes file ([Sample PR](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/pull/12680)).
     * Review the [changelogs/head](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/tree/main/changelogs/head.asciidoc) file and move relevant changelog entries from `head.asciidoc` to `release_version.asciidoc` if the change is backported to release_version. If changes do not apply to the version being released, keep them in the `head.asciidoc` file.
     * Review the commits in the release to ensure all changes are reflected in the release notes. Check for backported changes without release notes in `release_version.asciidoc`.

     * The PR should be merged the day before release.
   * For **minor releases**: run the [`run-minor-release`](https://github.com/elastic/apm-server/actions/workflows/run-minor-release.yml) workflow (In "Use workflow from", select `main` branch. Then in "The version", specify the minor release version the release is for).
-    This workflow will: create a new release branch using the stack version (X.Y); update the changelog for the release branch and open a PR targeting the release branch titled `<major>.<minor>: update docs`; create a PR on `main` titled `<major>.<minor>: update docs, mergify, versions and changelogs`. Before merging them compare commits between latest minor and the new minor versions and ensure all relevant PRs have been included in the Changelog. If not, amend it in both PRs. Request and wait a PR review from the team before merging.
