 The build command will generate distribution files under `packages/api-augment/build`.
 
 ## Publishing the Packages
-Note: Only the @oak-network developer team on [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com/) has the rights to publish new versions.
-
-Run the following command to publish the packages:
-
-```bash
-npm run publish -- <publish_version> <2fa_code>
-```
-
-- The first parameter, `<publish_version>`, should match the OAK-blockchain code version. If the version string is like `1.9.0-rc.1`, it will be tagged with `rc` when uploaded to npm.
-- The second parameter, `<2fa_code>`, is the Two-Factor Authenticator code of your npmjs.com account, which is enforced when joining the @oak-network team.
+The release creation and publish is completely handled by Github Actions.
+1. In order to trigger a version update, you need to run `npm run changeset` locally to generate a new version number and a Release Changelog. The script will create a .md file under .changeset like this PR, https://github.com/OAK-Foundation/oak.js/commit/c35050eb16bb73251fb05dd9010ab577f2adf5d6.
+2. Once the above PR is merged to main, an Action will be triggered to update all package versions automatically, as seen in this PR, https://github.com/OAK-Foundation/oak.js/pull/42.
+3. If things look good, merge the above PR created by changeset, and run the **Publish dev version** workflow manually to publish an NPM package version with `dev` tag for testing.
+4. If testing goes well, run the **Make dev version latest** workflow manually to update the npm tag of `dev` to `latest`.
 
 You should receive an email from `support@npmjs.com` if the package is successfully published.
