 ### Release Process
 
-1. **Determine version**: Choose tag name based on the commit's branch
+1. **Determine Code Editor Version**: Choose tag name based on the commit's branch
    - Tag format: `major.minor.patch` matching the branch the commit belongs to
    - Example: Commit on `1.0` branch → tag `1.0.0`, `1.0.1`, etc.
+   - Pre-release candidates have a tag suffix as `rc.{release_candidate_version}`. For example `1.0.4-rc.1` or `1.0.4-rc.2`.
 
-2. **Create tag**: Choose one of these methods:
+2. **Determine SageMaker Code Editor Version**: 
+   - Get in touch with the SageMaker team to decide what SageMaker version needs to be used for the latest release.
+   - Hard-code that version in the patch `patches/sagemaker/display-both-versions-in-about.diff` in `product.json`.
+
+
+3. **Create release**:
    - **Command line**: Push tag to trigger release workflow
      ```bash
      git tag 1.0.0
      git push origin 1.0.0
      ```
-   - **GitHub Actions**: Manually run "Create release" workflow from Actions tab
-   - **GitHub UI**: Go to Releases → Create a new release
-
-3. **Release notes**: Include code-oss version information in the release description
+   - The workflow will:
+     - Fetch build artifacts for that commit
+     - Inject Code Editor version from the release tag into product.json
+     - Create GitHub release
 
+4. **Release notes**: Include code-oss version and Sagemaker Code Editor Version information in the release description. Release description can be edited once the release workflow creates the release.
