+| Comments: | This is only used to run code quality checks for each change made in a GitHub pull request during development. | It’s intended for developers to quickly test changes after a merge on a stable and predictable database, among other things. | Continuous QA and feature verification on an environment that closely resembles production in terms of data volume and other characteristics. | An environment used for regression testing and release preparation. It replicates the production setup in terms of resources and data, offering a realistic context to validate stability, performance, and functionality prior to release. |

 ### Architecture/Environment changes
 * [OSDEV-1951](https://opensupplyhub.atlassian.net/browse/OSDEV-1951) - Added support for specifying a contributor email in the `direct_data_load` command. This allows users to provide an email address for the contributor when loading data, and automatically creates the contributor if it does not exist. The separate compute environment for this command has been removed, it now needs to run in the default environment.
 * The RDS instance type for the Test environment has been upgraded to `db.t3.2xlarge` to handle search requests across over 1.2 million production locations now present in the database.
+* Updated the `RELEASE-PROTOCOL.md` file to include information about deployment to external environments such as RBA. Also consolidated environment naming to use capitalized format, and corrected spelling mistakes and formatting issues.
+* Updated the `ENVIRONMENTS.md` file to bring it up to date with the latest state of the core environments.
 
 ### Bugfix
 * [OSDEV-2033](https://opensupplyhub.atlassian.net/browse/OSDEV-2033) - Added support for the `slop` parameter in `multi_match` queries when using strings longer than 50 symbols or 12 tokens in GET `v1/production-locations?query=` endpoint.
