# Contributing to Documenso
If you plan to contribute to Documenso, please take a moment to feel awesome ✨ People like you are what open source is about ♥. Any contributions, no matter how big or small, are highly appreciated.
> **We are no longer accepting external pull requests.**
>
> Aside from a small group of trusted contributors we reach out to directly, we no longer merge external PRs. New pull requests will usually be closed with a request to open an issue instead. This is a security decision, not a judgement on your work. Read [Why We're Pausing External Pull Requests](https://documenso.com/blog/why-we-re-pausing-external-pull-requests) for the full reasoning.
>
> Documenso stays open source. You can still read, audit, run, and fork the code. The best way to contribute is through detailed issues.
## Before getting started
## How to contribute now
- Before jumping into a PR be sure to search [existing PRs](https://github.com/documenso/documenso/pulls) or [issues](https://github.com/documenso/documenso/issues) for an open or closed item that relates to your submission.
- Select an issue from [here](https://github.com/documenso/documenso/issues) or create a new one
- Consider the results from the discussion on the issue
- Accept the [Contributor License Agreement](https://documen.so/cla) to ensure we can accept your contributions.
The most useful contribution is a detailed issue. Treat it like a spec. The more detail, the better:
- The problem you're trying to solve, and who it affects
- How you expect the feature or change to behave
- Edge cases, constraints, and anything you've already considered
- Examples, mockups, or references where they help
Before opening an issue, search [existing issues](https://github.com/documenso/documenso/issues) and [discussions](https://github.com/documenso/documenso/discussions) for related items. If a proposal is detailed and fits where Documenso is heading, we'll pick it up and build against it.
For security vulnerabilities, do not open a public issue. Follow our [Security Policy](./SECURITY.md) instead.
