 1. Review all modifications to our workflows with extra scrutiny, it is important to get it correct the first time.
 1. Test workflow changes in your own public fork, for example: https://github.com/Andrew-Test-Org/Public-Test-Repo
 1. Only trusted users will be allowed write access to the repository, however, it's good to add logic checks in actions to prevent human error.
+1. Do not add repo secrets to the environment at the workflow or job level. Only add them to the environment at the step level.
