 ## Release checklist for this repo:
-- Bump the version on package.json & package-lock.json
+- Bump the version on package.json & package-lock.json (for example from 0.4.1 to 0.4.2)
 - update CHANGELOG.md with high level changes only (low level commits will be automatically generated by github later) you can see notes of changes since last release on [this view](https://github.com/3DStreet/3dstreet/releases/tag/0.4.1)
