+## Release Process
+When you push a commit with a tag matching a semantic version (e.g., v1.0.0) to the repo, an automated workflow will trigger to build, test, and publish a GitHub release with compiled binaries and nuget packages.
+
+Please ensure you have updated all of the version files below with the release version number, as the tagged release workflow will validate the version in code matches the tag:-
+
+- Directory.Build.props
+- version.json
+- docs/conf.py
+
+To create the tag use (e.g. for v8.0.5):
+```
+git tag -a v8.0.5 -m "IdentityServer8 Release v8.0.5"
+git push origin v8.0.5`
+```
+
