* 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.

* 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).
2828
This workflow will: create the release branch; 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.
