+### 1. Pre-flight checks
+
+- [ ] Ensure there are no [open issues with a `block-release ⛔️` label](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22block-release+%E2%9B%94%EF%B8%8F%22+sort%3Aupdated-desc)
+
+### 2. Prepare the codebase for a new release
+
+- [ ] Create a new git branch for the release `git checkout -b release-2023.9.1`
+  - [ ] Prepare the branch just in case `git clean -fxdq`
+- [ ] Bump `conda-store-ui` version in `package.json`
+- [ ] Follow the manual release instructions in the Release.md file (do not make the release yet!)
+- [ ] Make a release commit: `git commit -m 'REL - 2023.9.1'`
+- [ ] Push the release (REL) commit
+- [ ] If a **release candidate** is needed, tick this box when we're ready for a full release.
+
+### 3. Make the release
+
+- [ ] [Start a new GitHub release](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store/releases/new)
+  - Call the release the current version, e.g. `2023.9.1`
+  - In the **`Choose a Tag:`** dropdown, type in the release name (e.g., `2023.9.1`) and click "Create new tag"
+  - In the **`Target:`** dropdown, pin it to the release commit you've recently pushed.
+  - Add release notes in the field below[^github-activity].
+- [ ] Confirm that the release completed
+  - [The `release` GitHub action job](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store-ui/blob/main/.github/workflows/release.yaml) has completed successfully in the [actions tab](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store-ui/actions).
+- [ ] Celebrate, you're done! 🎉
+
+[^github-activity]: If you wish, use [`github-activity` to generate a changelog](https://github.com/choldgraf/github-activity), e.g. `github-activity conda-incubator/conda-store --since 2023.9.1 --until 2023.10.1`.
