+### When to Add an Entry
+
+Include a changelog entry for pull requests affecting:
+
+1. Collector configuration or behavior

+- Documentation-only changes
+- Minor, non-impactful updates (e.g., code cleanup)
+
+### Adding an Entry
+
+**Quick Guide:**
+
+1. **Create File:** Run `make chlog-new` to generate a `.yaml` in `./.chloggen`.
+2. **Edit File:** Update the `.yaml` with relevant info.
+3. **Validate:** Use `make chlog-validate` to check format.
+4. **Commit:** Add the `.yaml` to your pull request.
+
+**Manual Option:**
+
+- Copy `./.chloggen/TEMPLATE.yaml` or create a unique `.yaml` file.
