+#### Adding changeset to PR
+Every PR that would trigger a release should include a changeset file. To make
+this process easy, a message will be sent to every PR with a link that you can
+click to add changeset files in the Github UI directly.
+[Example message](https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/pull/3284#issuecomment-649718617).
+
+#### What to include in the changset file
+
+You should include the version bump for your package as well as the description
+for the change. Valid version bump types are `patch`, `minor` and `major`.
+Please always include the `firebase` package with the same version bump type as
+your package. This is to ensure that the version of the `firebase` package will
+be bumped correctly. For example,
+
+```
+---
+"@firebase/storage": minor
+"firebase": minor
+---
+
+This is a test.
+```
+
+#### Multiple changeset files
+
+If your PR touches multiple SDKs or addresses multiple issues that require
+different version bump or different description, you can create multiple
+changeset files in the PR.
