 # Expensify Release
 
-To publish a new version run the following script, where `<base-version>` is the react-native version that the fork is based on, and `<fork-version>` is the version you want to publish. This will generate a tarball (`react-native-<fork-version>.tgz`) which can then be uploaded to a github release and consumed via npm.
+## Versioning
+
+Before publishing an Expensify Release of this fork, you must first set the correct package version. The version should mirror the upstream tag that it's based off.
+
+For example:
+
+- While writing this, the upstream tag I've based this version of the fork off is `0.71.2`. Since this is our first time publishing the fork under this upstream version, the correct version for the fork is `0.71.2-alpha.0` (and the corresponding git branch should be called `Expensify-0.71.2-alpha.0`)
+- If we publish the fork again without upgrading the fork to be based off a new upstream tag (such as `0.71.3`), then the next version would be `0.71.2-alpha.1`
+- If we publish the fork again with a new upstream tag (such as `0.71.4`), then the alpha should reset, and the correct version would then be `0.71.4-alpha.0`
+
+To update the version on the fork, run the following script:
+
+```bash
+node ./scripts/set-rn-version.js --to-version <fork-version> --build-type expensify
+```
+
+Then commit your changes.
+
+## Publishing
+
+To _publish_ a new version run the following script, where `<base-version>` is the react-native version that the fork is based on, and `<fork-version>` is the version you want to publish. This will generate a tarball (`react-native-<fork-version>.tgz`) which can then be uploaded to a github release and consumed via npm.
 
 ```bash
 node ./scripts/publish-npm-expensify.js --base-version <base-version> --fork-version <fork-version>
