 ## Releases
 
-Releases are automated but if you need to manually initiate a release you can do so through the GitHub Actions UI.  If you have permissions to do so, you can navigate to the [Actions tab](https://github.com/github/contributors/actions/workflows/release.yml) and select the `Run workflow` button.  This will allow you to select the branch to release from and the version to release.
