+## Releases 
+
+For releasing packages we are using [changesets](https://github.com/changesets/changesets) in combination with the [changeset Github action](https://github.com/changesets/action). The rough idea is:
+
+1. create PRs for new features, updates and fixes (with a changeset if relevant for changelog)
+2. merge into main 
+3. changset creates a PR that bumps all packages based on the changesets 
+4. merge changeset PR if you want to release to Github and npm
