 Depending on the changes, maintainers might ask you to make changes to the PR to fix problems or to improve the code.
 **Do not delete your fork** while your pull request remains open, otherwise you won't be able to make any requested changes and the PR will end up being declined.
 
+> [!TIP]
+> Don't worry about getting a PR perfect on the first try.
+> In fact, it's quite unusual for a PR to be perfect when it's first submitted, and most PRs will get changes requested by reviewers, even when the PR is made by one of our team members.

+> Mistakes are normal, and PMMP team members will review your code and suggest changes to your code as needed.
