+For example, to update from `3.2.0-alpha1` to `3.2.0-beta1` (as done in commit
+[31caeee6](https://github.com/o1-labs/openmina/commit/31caeee6af7bf20b8578a23bf69718dbe68fe5cc)):
 
-Update the configuration file hash to match the new release. The config files
-with the pattern `config_[8-character-hash]` come from the OCaml node release
-and need to be referenced in the OpenMina codebase.
-
-The configuration hash corresponds to the genesis state and network parameters
-for the specific release. You may need to:
+```bash
+./website/docs/developers/scripts/update-ocaml-node.sh 7f94ae0b 978866cd "3.2.0-alpha1" "3.2.0-beta1"
+```
 
-- Update references to the config filename in code to match the new hash
-- Download or reference the new config files from the OCaml node release
-- Verify the new configuration is compatible with OpenMina
+**Parameters:**
 
-## 4. Example Workflow
+- `old_hash`: Current 8-character config hash
+- `new_hash`: New 8-character config hash from the release
+- `old_version`: Current version (e.g., `3.1.0`)
+- `new_version`: New version (e.g., `3.2.0-alpha1`)

+- Configuration file references in testing code
+- Docker image tags in CI workflows and compose files
+- Version strings throughout the codebase

-# Replace old tags with new release version
+## 3. Manual Verification
