195-220: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Remove the placeholder or complete the v5.13.5 entry.

This section currently ships with a blank release date and an empty bullet, so the rendered changelog will show an incomplete release note. Please either add the actual date/details for v5.13.5 or drop the entry until that content is ready.

- Line 50: Update the hardcoded "version v6.1.1" link so it points to the actual
v6.1.1 release page instead of releases/latest: replace the URL in the line
containing "version v6.1.1
<https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/latest>`__" with the tag URL for
v6.1.1 (e.g. https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/tag/v6.1.1) so the
link always resolves to the documented ZIP/MSI filenames for v6.1.1.

In `@source/product-overview/desktop-app-changelog.md`:
- Around line 12-21: The release heading for v6.1.1 is missing the release date
and leaves a stray emphasis marker; update the heading line containing
"**v6.1.1, released **" to include the actual release date (e.g., "**v6.1.1,
released 2026-03-XX**") so it renders properly and matches the release table,
ensuring the bold markup surrounds the full phrase with the date.
