+# Release-Please Versioning Guide
+
+## Important: When to Remove `versioning: 'prerelease'`
+
+### Current State (Prerelease Versions) - WORKING FINE
+
+When your packages are using **prerelease versions** (like `0.0.3-alpha.0`, `0.1.0-beta.1`, etc.), the `versioning: 'prerelease'` field **CAN BE USED** and is working correctly.
+
+**✅ CURRENT CONFIG (Working):**
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    ".": {
+      "release-type": "node",
+      "prerelease": true,
+      "prerelease-type": "alpha",
+      "versioning": "prerelease" // ← This is working fine for prereleases
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### When to Remove `versioning: 'prerelease'`
+
+The `versioning: 'prerelease'` field should be **REMOVED** when:
+
+1. **Transitioning to stable versions** (like `1.0.0`, `2.1.0`)
+2. **Moving away from prerelease mode**
+3. **Starting a new stable release cycle**
+
+**❌ INCORRECT for stable versions:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    ".": {
+      "release-type": "node",
+      "versioning": "prerelease" // ← REMOVE THIS for stable versions
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**✅ CORRECT for stable versions:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    ".": {
+      "release-type": "node"
+      // No versioning field needed for stable versions
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Migration Path
+
+#### Step 1: Current (Prerelease) - WORKING
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    ".": {
+      "release-type": "node",
+      "prerelease": true,
+      "prerelease-type": "alpha",
+      "versioning": "prerelease" // ← Keep this for prereleases
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Step 2: When reaching stable version (1.0.0) - REMOVE
+
+```json
+{
+  "packages": {
+    ".": {
+      "release-type": "node"
+      // Remove versioning field for stable versions
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Current Configuration (Prerelease Versions)
+
+Since your packages are currently at:
+
+- Main package: `0.1.0-alpha.0`
+- Dapp package: `0.1.0-alpha.0`
+
+### Summary
+
+| Package Version | Config Field               | Action                |
+| --------------- | -------------------------- | --------------------- |
+| `0.1.0-alpha.0` | `versioning: 'prerelease'` | ✅ **KEEP** (working) |
+| `1.0.0`         | `versioning: 'prerelease'` | ❌ **REMOVE**         |
+
+**Remember**: The `versioning` field works fine for prereleases but should be removed when transitioning to stable versions!
