+colonyJS is using [changesets]() to create releases. Here's the workflow:
+
+1) Create a PR and add a [changeset](https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/adding-a-changeset.md) within the PR
+2) Have the PR reviewed and merged into `main`
+3) `changesets` will create a release PR which collects all changes that have been merged since the last release
+4) This PR can be merged at any point to then create a new main release
+

+1) Push your desired changes to a branch named `next-xxx` (replace `xxx` with your feature or custom name)
