First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start in the desktop app's PR view and trace how the pull request description is currently displayed. Define the editing interaction and verify that a user can change the description directly from that view and see the saved result.
