Will erasing hard drive delete my iCloud files

I am returning a MacBook Pro. Info is to erase my hard drive. Won't that also delete my iCloud documents?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Not if you sign out of iCloud first.

After that you should enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and erase the SSD and then reinstall the macOS as indicated in the link.
