Merging the `Version Packages (next)` Pull Request will trigger the deployment workflows. Follow along the [deployment workflow](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/actions/workflows/deploy_packages.yml). If you notice flakiness (e.g. if the build is flaky or if the release step runs into an error with releasing to npm) just restart the workflow.

When the release is ready to be published, maintainers will be notified in the private `#maintainers` channel on the Backstage Discord Server. They will then start the publishing workflow on the publishing workflows page linked in the notification message. On the publishing workflows page there is a dropdown menu called "Run workflow", this opens a form where the person responsible for the release should paste the SHA received in the Discord notification and click to run the workflow.

Congratulations on the release! There should be now a post in the [`#announcements` channel](https://discord.com/channels/687207715902193673/705123584468582400) in Discord linking to the release tag - check if links & tag look as expected. Once the notification has gone out on Discord you can unlock the main branch & the release is complete.
