 ## Releasing in "next"/"pre" mode
 
 Sometimes, the repo enters "next" mode, which means that `main` is no longer releasing to `npm install astro` but is instead releasing to `npm install astro@next`. We do this from time-to-time to test large features before sharing them with the larger Astro audience.
 
 When in "next" mode, the automatic PR release process is for `next`. That means that releasing to `latest` becomes a manual process. To release latest manually while in "next" mode:
 
-1. *In the code snippets below, replace `0.X` with your version (ex: `0.18`, `release/0.18`, etc.).*
-1. Create a new `release/0.X` branch, if none exists.

 1. Point `release/0.X` to the latest commit for the `v0.X` version.
 1. `git cherry-pick` commits from `main`, as needed.
 1. Make sure that all changesets for the new release are included. You can create some manually (via `yarn changeset`) if needed.
