+
+## Available tools
+
+A set of tools is used by this repository to facilitate the contribution management:
+
+- Autogeneration of Word CR documents:
+    - Upon creation of a Merge Request, a pipeline is executed to produce the associated Word CR document that contains the tracked changes proposed by the Merge Request.
+    - Right after creation of a Merge Request, the source branch is protected in order to avoid any further change to the submitted contribution
+
+- Publication of a new baseline
+    - Upon creation of tag, a Word document will be generated from the markdown specification in this repository and published at the [TS-0019 specifications](https://specifications.onem2m.org/ts-0019/)
+    - As Table of Content is not used in the markdown specfication document of this repository. A tool will generate the ToC and add it to the any new published baseline.
+
+Please, refer to [Tools/Scripts repository](hhtps://git.onem2m.org/tools/scripts) for more details.
+
+Some known issues:
+
+- Generation of Word CR:
+    - Additions/deletions of images will not appear as tracked change in the Word CR
+    - Additions/deletions of a list of elements will make the list appearing as not enumerated in the Word CR
