 If you want to submit a feature or a substantial code contribution, please discuss it first with the the team by [filing an issue](https://github.com/dotnet/project-system/issues/new), making sure it follows our [Roadmap](docs/repo/roadmap.md).
 
+## Backporting Changes
+
+To backport a merged pull request to a release branch, add a comment to the PR with the following format:
+
+```
+/backport to <branch-name>
+```
+
+For example, to backport to the `dev17.13.x` branch:
+
+```
+/backport to dev17.13.x
+```
+
+The backport action will automatically create a new PR targeting the specified branch. This command is only available to users with Write or Admin permissions on the repository. Available release branches include `dev17.13.x`, `dev17.9.x`, `dev17.8.x`, `dev17.7.x`, `dev17.4.x`, and `dev16.11.x`.
