 1. Make sure you are on the latest version of the `develop` branch. To confirm this, run `git pull origin develop` to get the latest changes from the repo.
 2. Run `yarn changelog` on the `develop` branch and copy the output. You can use `yarn changelog | pbcopy` to copy the output of `yarn changelog` into your clipboard.
-3. Decide on a version for the release based on [semver](mdc:https://semver.org). The version should be decided based on what is in included in the release.

For example, if the release includes a new feature, we should increment the minor version. If it includes only bug fixes, we should increment the patch version. You can find the latest version in [CHANGELOG.md](mdc:CHANGELOG.md) at the very top.
 4. Create a branch `prepare-release/VERSION`, eg. `prepare-release/8.1.0`, off `develop`.
 5. Update [CHANGELOG.md](mdc:CHANGELOG.md) to add an entry for the next release number and a list of changes since the last release from the output of `yarn changelog`. See the `Updating the Changelog` section in [publishing-a-release.md](mdc:docs/publishing-a-release.md) for more details. If you remove changelog entries because they are not applicable, please let the user know.
 6. Commit the changes to [CHANGELOG.md](mdc:CHANGELOG.md) with `meta(changelog): Update changelog for VERSION` where `VERSION` is the version of the release, e.g. `meta(changelog): Update changelog for 8.1.0`
