The postreq element specifies cleanup tasks, verification steps, or follow-up actions that should be performed after completing the main task.

The postreq element serves these primary purposes:

• Providing cleanup and maintenance instructions after task completion

• Specifying next steps or related tasks to be performed

• Connecting the current task to subsequent activities in a workflow

Key characteristics of the postreq element:

• An optional element that must be added within taskbody in any number

• Is the final element in taskbody, after result or example if present

• In general task, postreq can be added multiple times per task

• Supports other block elements allowed

• Can include paragraphs, lists, tables, notes, and examples

• Can reference related tasks or additional procedures

• Can include links to other documentation topics

Content within the postreq element follows these guidelines:

• Appears in a distinct section, often with a heading such as Postrequisites or Next steps

• Visually separated from the steps and result to indicate supplementary actions

• May use different styling or indentation than the steps

• May contain unordered list (ul) or ordered list (ol) for easy scanning when listing multiple postrequisites

Use postreq to:

• Provide cleanup instructions for temporary files, connections, or system states

• Include verification steps to help users confirm successful task completion

• Reference logical next steps or related tasks to guide the user's workflow

• Specify safety measures or precautions needed after task completion
