+              This PR had conflicts when we tried to cherry-pick it to staging. You'll need to manually perform the cherry-pick, using the following steps:
+
+              \`\`\`bash
+              git fetch
+              git checkout ${{ github.actor }}-cherry-pick-staging-${{ github.event.inputs.PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER }}-${{ github.run_attempt }}
+              git cherry-pick -S -x --mainline 1 ${{ steps.getCPMergeCommit.outputs.MERGE_COMMIT_SHA }}
+              \`\`\`
+
+              Then manually resolve conflicts, and commit the change with \`git cherry-pick --continue\`. Lastly, please run:
+
+              \`\`\`bash
+              git commit --amend -m \"$(git log -1 --pretty=%B)\" -m \"(CP triggered by ${{ github.actor }})\"
+              \`\`\`
+
+              That will help us keep track of who triggered this CP. Once all that's done, push your changes with \`git push origin ${{ github.actor }}-cherry-pick-staging-${{ github.event.inputs.PULL_REQUEST_NUMBER }}-${{ github.run_attempt }}\`, and then open this PR for review.
+          
+              Note that you **must** test this PR, and both the author and reviewer checklist should be completed, just as if you were merging the PR to main." \
