# Updating topics through the GitHub user interface
This topic describes how to submit pull requests to the Angular repository using GitHub's user interface.
If you are unfamiliar with [Git](https://git-scm.com), you might find this process easier for making changes.
<div class="alert is-important">
Using the GitHub user interface for updates is recommended only for small changes to one file at a time, such as fixing typos, [updating the review date](guide/reviewing-content) or [updating search keywords](guide/updating-search-keywords).
</div>
**To update a topic through the GitHub user interface:**
1. Navigate to the topic for which you want to file a pull request.
1. Click the edit icon at the top of the topic.
<div class="lightbox">
<img alt="The edit icon for an Angular topic." src="generated/images/guide/contributors-guide/edit-icon.png">
</div>
A GitHub page appears, displaying the source of the topic.
1. Update the topic.
1. At the bottom of the screen, update the **Commit changes** box with a description of the change.
Use the format `docs: <short-description-of-change>`, where `<short-description-of-change>` briefly describes your change.
Keep the description under 100 characters.
For example:
<code-example format="github" language="markdown">
docs: fix typo in Tour of Heroes pt.1
</code-example>
1. Verify that the **create new branch** option is selected, then click **Commit changes**.
A Pull Request screen opens.
1. Fill out the form in the Pull Request screen.
At a minimum, put an `x` in the **Docs have been added / updated** option and the **Documentation content changes** option.
1. Click **Create pull request**.
At this point, your pull request is added to a list of current requests, which the documentation team reviews weekly.
