Last Week In Docs:

🎙️ On Talking & Doc'ing: we reviewed a whopping **67 PRs** adding the new Starlight `<Steps>` component throughout docs.

Everyone jumped in to take different PRs and visually inspect the deploy previews, check for proper usage, and make any small corrections needed. Thank you to community member Eduardo Pereira for creating So. Many. PRs. 

We always prefer more, smaller docs PRs over one HUGE PR that makes us exhausted just looking at it before we even start... :joy: 

Smaller PRs help us more easily separate the work, let us review (and merge!) simple changes more quickly, and allow others to easily get involved leaving an approval to let maintainers know this one change is good to go! 

Team Docs/DX also:

... published the monthly [What's New in Astro blog post](https://astro.build/blog/whats-new-april-2024/). Not on Discord? Miss a community call? Find out what happened on the blog!

... reviewed 4.8 docs for the upcoming minor release! Two new experimental flags will be released on Thursday, and we want you to know how to test them out!

... added the [`help wanted`](https://github.com/withastro/docs/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) label to a bunch of new GitHub issues! Want to help out? See what's available to work on!
