+Cut a Release
+=============
+
+Create a PR to the `main` branch and go through the following steps:
+
+**Preparation**
+- Prepare the release by running the `prepare_release.py` python script (e.g. `python prepare_release.py 2.0.1`) , which will do the following:
+  - update the `setuptools_scm` fallback version in `pyproject.toml`.
+- Check release notes
+- (optional) check conda-forge and wheels build. Pushing a tag to a fork will run the release workflow without uploading to pypi
+- Let that PR collect comments for a day to ensure that other maintainers are comfortable with releasing
+
+**Tag and release**
+:warning: this is a point of no return point :warning:
+- push tag (`vx.y.z`) to the upstream repository and the following will be triggered:
+  - build of the wheels and their upload to pypi
+  - creation of a Github Release
+
+**Post-release action**
+- Merge the PR
+
+Follow-up
+=========
+
+- Tidy up and close corresponding milestone
+- A PR to the conda-forge feedstock will be created by the conda-forge bot
+
+Additional information
+======================
+
+The version is defined by ``setuptools_scm`` at build time when packaging HyperSpy. In an editable installation (when using ``pip install -e .``), the version is defined from the
+git repository.
