 title: Editors Checklist
+summary: Checklist for Editors before approving and merging a pull request (PR).
 ---
 
-Before approving changes to RSQKit content, the Editors will check the [following conditions](https://github.com/EVERSE-ResearchSoftware/RSQKit/blob/contributing-style-fixes/EDITORS_CHECKLIST.md) are met.
+### General Guidelines for Approving Pull Requests
+
+Before approving and merging a pull request (PR), the Editors will check that:
+
+- The modified page(s) layout looks correct on the RSQKit website (either by checking Netlify's "Deploy Preview" on the 
+PR in RSQKit, or downloading and checking the PR branch locally on the Editor's machine, or checking the deployment or a PR in a fork in GitHub).
+- The Contributors implemented the requested changes and comments, if needed.
+- The Contributors are acknowledged and thanked for their efforts and informed about the publication of their content.
+- The PR is linked to related issues and can be merged into the main branch with no conflicts.
+
+
+### Specific Checks for Task & Other Content Pages
+
+- All relevant metadata fields in a specific page or data file are correctly filled in - check the [Metadata Guidelines][metadata_guidlines].
+- If needed, the new page is linked in the appropriate sidebar menu. When adding the page to the sidebar navigation, ensure that the sidebar entry's 'title' matches the page's 'title'."
+- Make sure that all tools and resources mentioned on a page are added to the ["tools and resources" data file][tools_and_resources] and then tagged in the text of the page
+using the `{% raw  %}{% tool 'tool_or_resource_id' %}{% endraw  %}` directive.
+
+### Specific Checks for Contributors' Data
+
+- A Contributor has provided at least their GitHub username/handle, as GitHub IDs are used to uniquely identify Contributors in RSQKit.
+- A Contributor is listed in the [CONTRIBUTORS file][contributors] and each page they contributed to (in the [page metadata][metadata_guidlines]).
