How does GitHub categorize pull requests in automatically generated release notes?▼

GitHub categorizes pull requests in generated release notes by mapping existing repository labels to specific change categories defined within a .github/release.yml configuration file.

Can I preview the release notes configuration before writing the .github/release.yml file?▼
