-## Contributing Code
+# How to Contribute?
 
-### Before You Start
+## Testing
 
-- Keep each pull request focused on a single feature or fix.
+* Test the latest changes to WinUtil by running the pre-release and reporting issues you are encountering to help us continually improve WinUtil!
-- Avoid unnecessary formatting changes or large unrelated edits.
-- Document what changed and why in your PR description.
 
----
+#### **Run the latest pre-release**
+   ```ps1
+   irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
+   ```
 
-## Basic Git Workflow
+!!! bug "Keep in mind"
 
-### 1. Fork the Repository
+     This is a pre-release and should be treated as such. It exists for developers to test the utility and report or fix bugs before they get added to the stable release. Don't use it in production!
 
-Go to the ChrisTitusTech/winutil repository on GitHub and click the Fork button in the top right corner.
+## Issues
 
-<img width="171" height="50" alt="{650A4723-F38A-44A4-9820-D232BC87C8A0}" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a214f27c-2fee-444a-920f-d87b14f5896f" />
+* If you encounter any challenges or problems with the script, I kindly request that you submit them via the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. By filling out the provided template, you can provide specific details about the issue, allowing me (and others in the community) to promptly address any bugs or consider feature requests.
 
----
+## Contribute Code
 
-### 2. Clone Your Fork
+* Pull requests are now handled directly on the **MAIN branch**. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.
 
-```powershell
+* If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch.
-git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/winutil.git
+
-cd winutil
+!!! warning "Important"
+
+     Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!
+
+     Do not open a pull request that adds support for other languages to WinUtil for now, until we decide how we want to move forward with language support.
+
+* When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the `tweaks` section and corresponding `undo tweak`, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.
+
+* By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.
+
+!!! note
+
+     When creating a function, please include "WPF" or "WinUtil" in the file name so it can be loaded into the runspace.
+
+## Walk through
+
+* This is a guide for beginners. If you are still having issues, look at the following official GitHub documentation:
+    * [Commit through WEB](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)
+    * [Commit through GitHub Desktop](https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/making-changes-in-a-branch/committing-and-reviewing-changes-to-your-project-in-github-desktop#about-commits)
+    * [Create a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)

----
+     This is a diagram to guide you through the process. It may vary depending on the type of change you're making.
 
-### 3. Create a Branch
+### Fork the Repo
+* Fork the WinUtil Repository [here](https://github.com/ChrisTitusTech/winutil) to create a copy that will be available in your repository list.
 
-Never work directly on `main`.
+![Fork Image](/docs/assets/images/Fork-Button-Dark.png#gh-dark-mode-only)
 
-Create a branch related to your change:
+![Fork Image](/docs/assets/images/Fork-Button-Light.png#only-light#gh-light-mode-only)
 
-```powershell
+### Clone the Fork
-git checkout -b feature-name
+!!! tip
-```
 
-Example:
+     While you can make your changes directly through the Web, we recommend cloning the repo to your device using the application GitHub Desktop (available in WinUtil) to test your fork easily.
 
-```powershell
+* Install GitHub Desktop if it is not already installed.
-git checkout -b add-firefox-tweak
+* Log in using the same GitHub account you used to fork WinUtil.
-```
+* Choose the fork under "Your Repositories" and press "clone {repo name}"
+* Create a new branch and name it something relatable to your changes.
 
----
+* Now you can modify WinUtil to your liking using your preferred text editor.
 
-### 4. Edit the Code
 
-Open the project in your preferred text editor and make your changes.
+### Testing your changes
 
-Keep changes small and focused.
+* To test to see if your changes work as intended, run the following commands in a PowerShell terminal as admin:
 
----
+* Change the directory where you are running the commands to the forked project.
+* `cd {path to the folder with the compile.ps1}`
+* Run the following command to compile and run WinUtil:
+* `.\Compile.ps1 -run`
 
-### 5. Test Your Changes
+![Compile](/docs/assets/images/Complie.png)
 
-Open Powershell as Administrator.
 
-Go to the project folder:
+Open PowerShell as Administrator.
 
-```powershell
+* After seeing that your changes work properly, feel free to commit the changes to the repository and make a PR. For help on that, follow the documentation below.
-cd path\to\winutil
-```
 
-Run:
 
-```powershell
+### Committing the changes
-.\Compile.ps1 -Run
+* Before committing your changes, please discard changes made to the `winutil.ps1` file, like the following:
-```
 
-Verify:
+![Push Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Discard-GHD.png)
 
-- WinUtil launches correctly
+* Now, commit your changes once you are happy with the result.
-- Your feature works
-- Nothing else breaks
 
-If something fails, fix it before committing.
+![Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Commit-GHD.png)
 
----
+* Push the changes to upload them to your fork on github.com.
 
-### 6. Review Your Changes
+![Push Commit Image](/docs/assets/images/Push-Commit.png)
 
-Check what changed:
+### Making a PR
-
+* To make a PR on your repo under a new branch linking to the main branch, a button will show and say Preview and Create pull request. Click that button and fill in all the information that is provided on the template. Once all the information is filled in correctly, check your PR to make sure there is no WinUtil.ps1 file attached to the PR. Once everything is good, make the PR and wait for Chris (the maintainer) to accept or deny your PR. Once it is accepted by Chris, you will be able to see your changes in the "/windev" build.
-```powershell
+* If you do not see your feature in the main "/win" build, that is fine. All new changes go into the /windev build to make sure everything is working OK before going fully public.
-git status
+* Congratulations! You just submitted your first PR. Thank you so much for contributing to WinUtil.

-## Contributing Code
+# How to Contribute?
 
-### Before You Start
+## Testing
 
-- Keep each pull request focused on a single feature or fix.
+* Test the latest changes to WinUtil by running the pre-release and reporting issues you are encountering to help us continually improve WinUtil!
-- Avoid unnecessary formatting changes or large unrelated edits.
-- Document what changed and why in your PR description.
 
----
+#### Run the latest pre-release
 
-## Basic Git Workflow
+```ps1
-
+irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex
-### 1. Fork the Repository
-
-Go to the ChrisTitusTech/winutil repository on GitHub and click the Fork button in the top right corner.
-
-<img width="171" height="50" alt="{650A4723-F38A-44A4-9820-D232BC87C8A0}" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a214f27c-2fee-444a-920f-d87b14f5896f" />
-
----
-
-### 2. Clone Your Fork
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/winutil.git
-cd winutil
 ```
 
----
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> **Keep in mind** That this is a pre-release and should be treated as such. It exists for developers to test the utility and report or fix bugs before they get added to the stable release. Don't use it in production!
 
-### 3. Create a Branch
+## Issues
 
-Never work directly on `main`.
+* If you encounter any challenges or problems with the script, I kindly request that you submit them via the "Issues" tab on the GitHub repository. By filling out the provided template, you can provide specific details about the issue, allowing me (and others in the community) to promptly address any bugs or consider feature requests.
 
-Create a branch related to your change:
+## Contribute Code
 
-```bash
+* Pull requests are now handled directly on the **MAIN branch**. This was done since we can now select specific releases to launch via releases in GitHub.
-git checkout -b feature-name
+
+* If you're doing code changes, then you can submit a PR to the `main` branch.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Do not use a code formatter, make massive amounts of line changes, or make multiple feature changes. EACH FEATURE CHANGE SHOULD BE IT'S OWN PULL REQUEST!
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Do not open a pull request that adds support for other languages to WinUtil for now, until we decide how we want to move forward with language support.
+
+* When creating pull requests, it is essential to thoroughly document all changes made. This includes, but is not limited to, documenting any additions made to the `tweaks` section and corresponding `undo tweak`, so users are able to remove the newly added tweaks if necessary, and comprehensive documentation is required for all code changes. Document your changes and briefly explain why you made your changes in your Pull Request Description. Failure to adhere to this format may result in the denial of the pull request. Additionally, any code lacking sufficient documentation may also be denied.
+
+* By following these guidelines, we can maintain a high standard of quality and ensure that the codebase remains organized and well-documented.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+>
+> When creating a function, please include "WPF" or "WinUtil" in the file name so it can be loaded into the runspace.
+
+## Walk through
+
+* This is a guide for beginners. If you are still having issues, look at the following official GitHub documentation:
+    * [Commit through WEB](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/committing-changes-to-your-project/creating-and-editing-commits/about-commits)
+    * [Commit through GitHub Desktop](https://docs.github.com/en/desktop/making-changes-in-a-branch/committing-and-reviewing-changes-to-your-project-in-github-desktop#about-commits)
+    * [Create a Pull Request](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull-requests/creating-a-pull-request)

-### 4. Edit the Code
+### Clone the Fork
+> [!TIP]
+>
+> While you can make your changes directly through the Web, we recommend cloning the repo to your device using the application GitHub Desktop (available in WinUtil) to test your fork easily.
 
-Open the project in your preferred text editor and make your changes.
+* Install GitHub Desktop if it is not already installed.
+* Log in using the same GitHub account you used to fork WinUtil.
+* Choose the fork under "Your Repositories" and press "clone {repo name}"
+* Create a new branch and name it something relatable to your changes.
 
-Keep changes small and focused.
+* Now you can modify WinUtil to your liking using your preferred text editor.

-### 5. Test Your Changes
+### Testing your changes
 
-Open PowerShell as Administrator.
+* To test to see if your changes work as intended, run the following commands in a PowerShell terminal as admin:
 
-Go to the project folder:
+* Change the directory where you are running the commands to the forked project.
+* `cd {path to the folder with the compile.ps1}`
+* Run the following command to compile and run WinUtil:
+* `.\Compile.ps1 -run`
 
-```powershell
+{{< image src="images/Complie" alt="Compile" >}}
-cd path\to\winutil
-```
 
-Run:
+* After seeing that your changes work properly, feel free to commit the changes to the repository and make a PR. For help on that, follow the documentation below.

+Open **AppX Removal** from the Tweaks tab to manage the listed Windows apps. Select one or more packages, then choose **Install Selected** or **Remove Selected**.

+When installing a selected package, WinUtil first registers an existing local `AppxManifest.xml`. If no usable local manifest remains, WinUtil installs the package from the Microsoft Store through WinGet when a Store product ID is available.

-- **Notes**: This removes custom update settings previously applied by WinUtil. If update errors continue, use the reset option in the **Config** tab to restore Microsoft Update services to their default state.
+- **Notes**: Only values managed by WinUtil are removed; other Windows Update policies are left in place. If update errors continue, use the reset option in the **Config** tab to repair Microsoft Update components.
 
-### Security (Recommended) Settings
+### Recommended
 
 - **What it does**: Applies a more conservative update strategy designed for most users.
 - **Feature updates**: Delayed by **365 days** to reduce the chance of disruption from major Windows changes.
-- **Security updates**: Delayed by **4 days** to allow time for early issues to surface while still keeping the system protected.
+- **Quality updates**: Delayed by **4 days** to allow time for early issues to surface while still keeping the system protected.
+- **Drivers**: Excluded from Windows quality updates.
+- **Restarts**: Scheduled updates do not automatically restart Windows while a user is signed in. A restart explicitly scheduled by a user still takes precedence.
+- **Availability**: Update deferral policies apply to Windows Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions.
 - **Why use it**: This mode offers the best balance between security and stability, which is why it is the recommended option for most PCs.
 
-### Disable ALL Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!)
+### Disable Updates (NOT RECOMMENDED!)
 
-- **What it does**: Disables all Windows updates.
+- **What it does**: Disables automatic update policy, stops and disables update services, disables update scheduled tasks, and clears downloaded update files.
 - **Best for**: Highly controlled or special-purpose systems where updates must remain off temporarily.
 - **Warning**: This leaves the system without security patches and significantly increases security risk.
+- **Notes**: Windows servicing can restore update components in some circumstances. Use **Restore Defaults** when you are ready to receive updates again.
 - **Recommendation**: Avoid this mode unless you fully understand the tradeoffs and have a specific reason to use it.
