 #### Development Deployment
 
 1. Create a branch in which the development release will live:

 #### Production Deployment
 
 1. Create the commit for the release:
    - Bump the version number in adherence to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) in `slack_bolt/version.py`
    - Build the docs with `./scripts/generate_api_docs.sh`.
    - Commit with a message including the new version number. For example `1.2.3` & Push the commit to a branch and create a PR to sanity check.
-     - `git checkout -b v1.2.3-release`
-     - `git add --all`
-     - `git commit -m 'version 1.2.3'`
-     - `git push {your-fork} v1.2.3-release`
-   - Merge in release PR after getting an approval from at least one maintainer.
-   - Create a git tag for the release. For example `git tag v1.2.3`.
-   - Push the tag up to github with `git push origin --tags`
+     - `git checkout -b v1.2.3`
+     - `git commit -a -m 'version 1.2.3'`
+   - Open a PR and merge after receiving at least one approval from other maintainers.
 
 2. Distribute the release
    - Use the latest stable Python runtime
-   - `python -m venv .venv`
-   - `./scripts/deploy_to_pypi_org.sh`
-   - Create a GitHub release - https://github.com/slackapi/bolt-python/releases
+      - `python -m venv .venv`
+      - `./scripts/deploy_to_pypi_org.sh`
+   - Create a new GitHub Release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/slackapi/bolt-python/releases) by clicking the "Draft a new release" button.
+      - Enter the new version number updated from the commit (e.g. `v1.2.3`) into the "Choose a tag" input.
+      - Ensure the tag `Target` branch is `main` (e.g `Target:main`).
+      - Click the "Create a new tag: x.x.x on publish" button. This won't create your tag immediately.
+      - Name the release after the version number updated from the commit (e.g. `version 1.2.3`)
+      - Auto-generate the release notes by clicking the "Auto-generate release
+      notes" button. This will pull in changes that will be included in your
+      release.
+      - Edit the resulting notes to ensure they have decent messaging that are
+      understandable by non-contributors, but each commit should still have it's
+      own line.
+      - Ensure that this version adheres to [semantic versioning](http://semver.org/). See
+      [Versioning](#versioning-and-tags) for correct version format. Version tags
+      should match the following pattern: `v2.5.0`.
