+**Step 1**
+
+Install Across Different Server Setups
+
+1. Obtain the plugin by either downloading it from the [repository](https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-plugin-post-delete-helper) or by building it from source.
+2. Upload the plugin to the Mattermost server.
+3. Perform sanity check
+
+**Expected**
+
+The plugin should install and uninstall without any issues across different server setups, including:
+
+- Server Editions: All
+- Licensing: With or without a license
+- Hosting: Self-hosted only, Cloud does not allow plugin upload
+- Deployment: Single-tenant or High-Availability setup
+
+The plugin should perform its intended functionality (delete root posts without deleting the thread) correctly without errors or unexpected behavior.
+
+---
+
+**Step 2**
+
+Install Plugin on Supported and Unsupported Server Versions
+
+1. Attempt to install the plugin on both supported and unsupported Mattermost server versions.
+
+**Expected**
+
+The plugin should install successfully only on supported versions. The minimum supported server version is `6.2.1`.

+
+1. Post a root message with one or more replies. A root post could be:
+- with or without attachments
+- with or without reactions
+- with attachment only and without message
+2. Verify that the "Remove root post" option is visible in the root post's menu.
+3. Select "Remove root post".
+
+**Expected**
+
+The "Remove root post" option should be available for a root post. When selected, the root message is replaced with `*Deleted*` (default), attachments and reactions are removed, the root post is marked as `Edited`, and the thread remains unchanged. After deletion, the "Remove root post" option is no longer visible for the root post.
+
+**Step 2**
+
+1. Navigate to `System Console > PLUGINS > Post Delete Helper` and change the `Message text to be used after deletion` to a custom value (e.g. `(root post deleted)`)
+2. Post a root message with one or more replies.
+3. Verify that the "Remove root post" option is visible in the root post's menu.
+4. Select "Remove root post".
+
+**Expected**
+
+The "Remove root post" option should be available for the root post. When selected, the root message is replaced with the custom text `(root post deleted)`, the root post is marked as `Edited`, and the thread remains unchanged.

+2. Check if the "Remove root post" option is available for each root post.
+3. If available, select "Remove root post".
+
+**Expected**
+
+- The "Remove root post" option should be available only for root posts where the user has permission to edit their own posts.
+- When the root post is deleted by its own user with the correct permission, the root post message is replaced with `*Deleted*` (default), marked as `Edited`, and the thread remains unchanged.
+- If the user lacks permission, the option to delete the root post should not be available.

+1. Enable `Edit Own Posts` in `System Console > Permission` and set the `Edit Post Time Limit` (e.g., `60` seconds).
+2. Post a thread and delete the root post within the time limit.
+3. Post another thread, then verify whether the "Remove root post" option is still available after the time limit has expired.
+
+**Expected**
+
+- The "Remove root post" option should only be available within the edit time limit.
+- Deleting within the time limit successfully deleted the root post with its message replaced with `*Deleted*` (default) and the post is marked as `Edited`, and its thread remains unchanged.
+- Once the edit time limit has passed, the option to remove the root post should no longer be available.
+- These expectations apply both to users who own the post and users with permission to edit others' posts.

+
+1. Post a thread, retrieve its root post ID, and execute the slash command `/deleterootpost <root_post_id>`.
+
+**Expected**
+
+- No autocompletion is available when typing `/deleterootpost`.
+- A dialog appears with the header `Delete Root Post` and the message `Are you sure you want to delete this post? The thread will remain.`, along with `Cancel` and `Delete` buttons.
+- Selecting `Cancel` keeps the attachment intact.
+- Selecting `Delete` successfully deletes the root post provided all deletion conditions are met. Otherwise, a system message appears in the channel indicating the reason for failure, such as:
+  - `Can't delete root post: Invalid post ID` if `root_post_id` is not valid.
+  - `Can't delete root post: Post does not exist` if `root_post_id` cannot be found.
+  - `Can't delete root post: Not authorized` if the user has no permission.
+  - `Can't delete root post: Post is too old to edit` if the edit time limit has expired.
+
+**Step 2**
+
+1. Create a root post without any replies, retrieve its post ID, and execute the slash command `/deleterootpost <root_post_id>`.
+
+**Expected**
+
+- The `Delete Root Post` dialog should not appear, and the post should not be deleted, as the root post has no replies.
+
+
+**Step 3**
+
+1. Post a thread, retrieve the post ID of any reply within the thread, and execute the slash command `/deleterootpost <post_id>`.
+
+**Expected**
+
+- The `Delete Root Post` dialog should not appear, and the post should not be deleted, as the command is intended only for root posts.
