 ### Sonar Update Center
 
-After publishing a new release, the [Sonar Update Center](https://xtranet-sonarsource.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/3385294896/The+Sonar+Update+Center) needs to be updated. This makes release information available at `downloads.sonarsource.com` for documentation and tooling.
+The [Sonar Update Center](https://xtranet-sonarsource.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/3385294896/The+Sonar+Update+Center) is automatically updated by the release workflow. When a release is published, the workflow creates a PR in [sonar-update-center-properties](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties) to update `scannernpm.properties` that:
 
-#### Update Process
+- Adds the new version entry using the `Description:` from the release body
+- Moves the previous public version to `archivedVersions`
 
-1. **Create a PR** in [sonar-update-center-properties](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties) to update `scannernpm.properties`
+#### Post-Release Steps
 
-2. **Add the new version entry** with the following format:
+After the release workflow completes, the following manual steps are required to fully publish the new version:
 
-   ```properties
-   X.Y.Z.description=Short description of the release
-   X.Y.Z.date=YYYY-MM-DD
-   X.Y.Z.changelogUrl=https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-npm/releases/tag/X.Y.Z
-   X.Y.Z.downloadUrl=https://www.npmjs.com/package/@sonar/scan/v/X.Y.Z
-   ```
+1. **Merge the Update Center PR**
+   - Review and merge the PR created in [sonar-update-center-properties](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties)
+   - The PR link is included in the Slack notification
 
-3. **Update version lists**:
-   - Move the previous public version to `archivedVersions`
-   - Set the new version in `publicVersions`
+2. **Deploy the Update Center**
+   - Run the [deploy workflow](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-update-center-properties/actions/workflows/deploy.yml) in sonar-update-center-properties
+   - This publishes the updated JSON to https://downloads.sonarsource.com/sonarqube/update/scannernpm.json
 
-4. **After PR is merged**, run the scanner release notes GitHub Action on the [SonarQube-Documentation](https://github.com/SonarSource/SonarQube-Documentation) repo to create a PR that pushes the update to product docs
+3. **Update the Documentation**
+   - Run the [generate-release-notes workflow](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarqube-documentation/actions/workflows/generate-release-notes.yml) in sonarqube-documentation
+   - This creates a PR to update the scanner versions (example: [sonarqube-documentation#94](https://github.com/SonarSource/sonarqube-documentation/pull/94))
+   - Merge the generated PR to publish the new version at https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/analyzing-source-code/scanners/npm/installing
+
+#### Version Entry Format
+
+Each version entry in `scannernpm.properties` follows this format:
+
+```properties
+X.Y.Z.description=Short description of the release
+X.Y.Z.date=YYYY-MM-DD
+X.Y.Z.changelogUrl=https://github.com/SonarSource/sonar-scanner-npm/releases/tag/X.Y.Z
