Some users upgrading Mattermost using GitLab omnibus automation are surprised that `gitlab.rb` overwrites Mattermost setting, e.g. [Upgrading to 8.11.4 disabled mattermost webhooks and is causing 404 and 50x errors (#1568) · Issues · GitLab.org / omnibus-gitlab · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/1568#note_15134292)

[The GitLab Mattermost admin guide mentions this](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc//gitlab-mattermost/README.md), but it’s not prominent.

Wondering if someone from the GitLab Mattermost community could help update the guide to make things more clear–ideally someone who knows how GitLab admins think and where best to place the information so it’ll be noticed.

A merge request can be opened directly on the documentation: [Files · master · GitLab.org / omnibus-gitlab · GitLab](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/doc//gitlab-mattermost/README.md)
