+After you configured your repository, follow the steps below for tracking changes to your files:
 
 1. Commit your files. You must have the following files in your package as highlighted in the [Release Package Requirements](https://gitlab.deterrencedispensed.com/deterrence-dispensed/information-and-tutorials/-/wikis/For-Developers/Resources/Release-Package-Requirements) guidance document.
 2. Create a "Release" with a "tag" in the following format off of your primary/develop branch: `vX.x` where `X` is major version, and `x` is minor version. (i.e, if this is your products first beta, you could use `v0.1`.)
 3. Do not use the release artifacts archive automatically bundled by GitLab- create a zip file with all your files EXCEPT the Natives, STEP, and all Git-related folders.
 4. Upload your file to the beta channel.
