Hi, You have a couple of options described on the ?news man page. The most common is to have a NEWS plain text file at the same level as DESCRIPTION, NAMESPACE, R etc. For examples, you could look at a variety of Bioconductor packages, GenomicRanges, IRanges, Rsamtools etc. ?news also describes the inst/NEWS.Rd approach where the .Rd file needs to follow standard formatting with \itemize, \subsection etc. Thanks for pointing out the link on the Package Submission page. I think that should be updated to point to ?news. Valerie

Hi, What should the NEWS file look like? Are there guidelines somewhere? Also, where should it be located? This page<https://www.bioconductor.org/developers/package-submission/> says `inst/NEWS`, but I see many packages has the file at root level.
