 * Once deployed to main, create a new tag in GitHub against main and copy the change log notes into the tag description
 * GitHub Actions will automatically prepare the release the new version to PyPi
 * Go to GitHub actions to approve the release
+* After merging into main, then in the command line with the develop branch run `git merge origin main` and push the changes. This might have to be done with a person with elevated privileges to bypass the protected branch settings.
 
 The GitHub Action required updates to the GitHub repo to only release on tags (https://github.com/SEED-platform/py-seed/settings/environments) after approval and on PyPi to add an authorized publisher (https://pypi.org/manage/project/py-SEED/settings/publishing/).
