+## Procedures
+
+In Spark 3 Iceberg provides an SQL API for accomplishing the [maintenance 
actions](maintenance.md). Support for
+stored procedures is tied to the DataSourceV2 catalog and requires that the 
Iceberg Extensions are enabled for the
+Spark Session.
+
+### General Usage
+
+To call an Iceberg stored procedure, execute a `CALL` command against the 
iceberg catalog. All procedures are added to
+the `system` keyspace. Procedures can take positional or named arguments.
+
+#### Generic Call with Positional Arguments
+```sql
+    CALL catalog_name.system.procedure_name(arg_1, arg_2, ... arg_n)
+```
+
+#### Generic Call with Named Arguments
+```sql
+    CALL catalog_name.system.procedure_name(arg_name_2 => arg_2, arg_name_1 => 
arg_1)
+```
+
+### Cherrypick Snapshot Procedure
+
+A procedure that applies changes in a given snapshot and creates a new 
snapshot which will
+be set as the current snapshot in a table.
+
+**Note** this procedure invalidates all cached Spark plans that reference the 
affected table
+
+#### Usage
+
+| Argument Name | Required? | Type | Description |
+|---------------|-----------|------|-------------|
+| table         | ✔️  | String | Name of table to perform cherrypick on |
+| snapshot_id   | ✔️   | Long | The snapshot ID to cherrypick |
+
+#### Output
+
+| Output Name | Type | Description |
+| ------------|------|-------------|
+| source_snapshot_id | Long | The snapshot before applying the cherrypick |
+| current_snapshot_id | Long | The current snapshot now that the cherrypick 
has been applied|
+
+#### Examples
+
+Cherrypick Snapshot 1
+```sql
+    CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.cherrypick_snapshot('my_table', 1)
+```
+
+Cherrypick Snapshot 1 with named args
+```sql
+    CALL catalog_name hive_prod.system.cherrypick_snapshot(snapshot_id => 1, 
table => 'my_table' )

Review comment:
       Probably too late? I'm not sure we actually did a release with this yet
