+# This workflow is designed to verify that the pull request description contains a "## Backport" section, which is important as a reminder to account for backports for anyone that works with NGO repository.
+# We have 2 development branches (develop and develop-2.0.0) and we need to ensure that relevant changes are landing in only one or both of them
+# If the "##Backport" section is missing, the workflow will fail and block the PR from merging, prompting the developer to add this section.

+# The workflow is configured to run when PR is created as well as when it is edited which also counts simple description edits.
