An email with just the word "done" can often be enhanced with a screen capture or code snippet. Obviously this is also valid for tasks/requests.

In any email you send, **include relevant information**, such as [URLs](/dones-do-your-dones-include-a-url), screenshots, and pieces of code/text that will allow others to understand what was done or needs to be done straight away.

Always include the relevant URL to your "Done" emails, like when you make a change to a webpage or document. This way people can check the work that was done.
Always include the relevant URL to your emails, like when you want to request or just made a change to a webpage or document. This way people can easily check the details of the tasks. This is especially important for ["Done" emails](reply-done-and-delete-the-email).

If you are using a task tracking system like **Azure DevOps**, **GitHub**, or Jira, also include the link to the PBI/issue/task.
