# Changelogs

All upcoming changelogs should go into the [upcoming_changelogs/](../../../upcoming_changelogs/_template.md) directory. Our release script automatically handles collating these files into our main [CHANGELOG.md](../../../CHANGELOG.md) on new EUI versions.

## When to write a changelog

Any updates to the `src/` folder require a new [upcoming changelog](../../../upcoming_changelogs/_template.md) file. Our release script handles collating upcoming changelog files into our main [CHANGELOG.md](../../../CHANGELOG.md) on new EUI versions.
- Any updates to the `src/` folder should include a changelog
- `dependency` upgrades in package.json should contain a changelog

I'd be curious to hear feedback from the team (and anyone outside as well) if there are other scenarios that we should more aggressively capture in our changelog, or if this is sufficient for now

I think this is sufficient for now. This way, we define the rule (usually have a changelog), but in the section below, we give a few common instances where the rule may not apply. I think this is easier to abide by.

I agree with @breehall. This feels clear and the information below highlights clear examples for PRs that do not need changelogs.


## When to skip a changelog

Changes that do not impact consumers or end-users (e.g. documentation-only changes to `wiki/` or `src-docs/`) or infra/dev-only changes (e.g. changes to `.github/` or `scripts/`) do not require a changelog entry. You may use the `skip-changelog` label on your PR to bypass CI checks.
Changes that do not impact consumers or end-users may use the `skip-changelog` label on PRs to bypass CI checks. Examples of these types of changes:

- Documentation-only changes (e.g. changes to `wiki/` or `src-docs/`)
- Infra/dev-only changes (e.g. changes to `.github/` or `scripts/`)
- `dev-dependency` upgrades in package.json
