-## How to Prepare a Release for the Python SDK
+# How to Release the Python SDK
 
+## Release off an Release Candidate Branch in Github Actions
+To release the Python SDK via Github Action, you must do the following:
+1. SDK core opens a new PR with the latest generated code and latest core. This branch should start off with `sdk-core/...`
+2. Add the release notes for the RC as well as update the examples if needed.
+3. Run the `Release Python SDKs` action and input the correct build and version number while referencing the RC branch.
+4. After the action is completed, the Python SDK is released on Github and PyPi, you can merge the PR branch.
+
+If the Github Action isn't working, you can follow the manual steps below to release the Python SDK.
