`@source/deployment-guide/desktop/desktop-msi-installer-and-group-policy-install.rst`:
- Around line 217-219: Update the version guidance in the MSI installation note
so it matches the commands: either replace the commands’ hardcoded version with
the ``<version>`` placeholder consistently, or remove the instruction to replace
``<version>``. Keep the documented command examples and version-specific MSI
behavior unchanged.
In `@source/product-overview/desktop-app-changelog.md`:
- Line 42: Correct the Linux cache directory in the changelog entry to use
~/.config/Mattermost, preserving the macOS and Windows paths unchanged.
- Around line 20-21: Update the Desktop App compatibility entry to list the
exact confirmed Mattermost server versions supported by this release instead of
stating “any currently supported.” Replace the hardcoded docs.mattermost.com
link with the repository’s appropriate relative Markdown or {ref} link to the
server release compatibility section, and preserve the Chromium version entry.
- Around line 12-48: Replace all v6.3.0 placeholder metadata in
source/product-overview/desktop-app-changelog.md (lines 12-48) and
source/product-overview/mattermost-desktop-releases.md (line 21) with the final
published release date, Chromium/Electron versions, compatibility details,
improvements, fixes, and contributors. Update the v6.3.0 download paths and
filenames in
source/deployment-guide/desktop/desktop-msi-installer-and-group-policy-install.rst
(lines 50-52) and source/deployment-guide/desktop/linux-desktop-install.rst
(lines 60-74 and 140) to the final published assets; remove all TODO, XX, and
XXX placeholders.
- Line 16: Update the Mattermost Desktop GitHub release link in the Download
Binaries entry to include the missing /tag/ path component, preserving the
existing v6.3.0 release reference.

repository URL with a descriptive Markdown link label, preserving the existing
