+        ### Prepare the release

+        - [ ] Create a new release candidate branch
+        `git checkout -b release-candidate-vX.Y.Z`
         - [ ] Update NEWS.md file: make sure it reflects a holistic summary of what has changed in the package, check README.

-        - [ ] Create a pull request to make necessary bug fixes/changes (add "[skip vbump]" in the PR title), and after merging the PR, tag the update(s) as a release candidate v < intended release version > -rc < release candidate iteration > on the main branch. Note that tags are created in GitHub and synchronized with GitLab automatically.
-        - [ ] The package is submitted for internal validation by Release Coordinator (Applicable only for regulatory release).
-        - [ ] Address any feedback (internal validation/user testing), retag the package as a release candidate vX.X.X-rc(n+1). Repeat the submission for internal validation if necessary.

-        - [ ] If the additional fields were removed, add them back in a separate PR, and then merge the PR back to main (add "[skip vbump]" in the PR title).
-        - [ ] Create a git tag with the final version set to X.X.X on the main branch.
-        - [ ] Update downstream package dependencies to (>=X.X.X) in {package name}.

+        ### Tag the release
+
+        - [ ] If the additional fields were removed, add them back in a separate PR, and then merge the PR back to main (add "[skip vbump]" in the PR title). If nothing was removed just merge the PR you created in the "Prepare the release" section to `main`. Note the commit hash of the merged commit. **Note:** additional commits might be added to the `main` branch by a bot or an automation - we do **NOT** want to tag this commit.

+
+        - [ ] Create a git tag with the final version set to vX.Y.Z on the main branch. In order to do this:
+          1. Checkout the commit hash.
+          `git checkout <commit hash>`
+          2. Tag the hash with the release version (vX.Y.Z).
+          `git tag vX.Y.Z`
+          3. Push the tag to make the final release.
+          `git push origin vX.Y.Z`
+        - [ ] Update downstream package dependencies to (>=X.Y.Z) in {package name}.
+        Note: Once the release tag is created, the package is automatically published to internal repositories.
