 This directory contains GitHub Actions workflows for automating various tasks in the repository.
 
+## Release Workflow
+
+The `release.yml` workflow automatically builds and releases the plugin when a new tag is pushed to the repository.
+
+### How it works
+
+1. When a new tag is pushed (in the format `v*.*.*`), the workflow is triggered
+2. The workflow checks out the code, sets up PHP and Node.js
+3. It verifies that the version in the tag matches the version in the plugin files
+4. It runs the build process using `npm run build`
+5. It creates a ZIP file of the plugin
+6. It creates a GitHub release with the ZIP file attached
+
+### Usage
+
+To create a new release:
+
+1. Update the version number in:
+   - `wp-multisite-waas.php` (the `Version:` header)
+   - `readme.txt` (the `Stable tag:` field)
+   - `package.json` (the `version` field)
+
+2. Commit these changes
+
+3. Create and push a new tag:
+   ```
+   git tag v1.2.3
+   git push origin v1.2.3
+   ```
+
+4. The workflow will automatically create a release with the built plugin
+
+### Requirements
+
+- The repository must have a `package.json` file with a `build` script
+- The plugin must have consistent version numbers across all files
+
 ## Sync Wiki Workflow
 
 The `sync-wiki.yml` workflow automatically syncs the content of the `.wiki` directory to the GitHub wiki whenever changes are pushed to the main branch.
