+## Subsequent Versions
+
+release-please tries to determine the next release based on the previous tagged
+release. The default search tag looks like:
+
+```sh
+<component-name>-v<release-version>
+```
+
+In your specific tagging scheme, your tags could like `v<release-version>`. And
+this will result in an error like:
+
+```sh
+❯ looking for tagName: <component>-v<release-version>
+⚠ Expected 1 releases, only found 0
+```
+
+To fix this, component can be removed from tagName being searched using the
+`include-component-in-tag` property. Setting this to `false` will change the
+tagName to:
+
+```sh
+v<release-version>
+```
+
 ## Manifest
 
 At a minimum, a manifest file must exist at the tip of the `--target-branch`.
