`@source/deployment-guide/desktop/desktop-msi-installer-and-group-policy-install.rst`:
- Line 50: The link currently uses the moving target `/releases/latest` while
the text calls out version v6.2.1; update the URL to the fixed tag URL for that
release (replace `https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/latest` with
`https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/tag/v6.2.1`) while keeping the
existing ReST link syntax around the string `version v6.2.1 <...>`__ so the link
points to the exact v6.2.1 release.

In `@source/deployment-guide/desktop/linux-desktop-install.rst`:
- Around line 60-67: Add an artifact integrity verification step before
installing or extracting downloads: instruct the user to fetch the published
SHA256 (or signature) from the release page and verify the downloaded file
(e.g., using sha256sum --check after saving the expected hash or using gpg
--verify for signed artifacts) prior to running commands such as "sudo rpm -i
mattermost-desktop-6.2.1-linux-x86_64.rpm" or extracting tarballs; mirror the
same verification guidance into the other install/extract section referenced
(the tarball install steps) so both rpm and tarball flows include
checksum/signature verification and a clear failure message if verification
fails.
