 1. Review [`CHANGELOG.md`](../CHANGELOG.md)
    - Double-check that all changes included in the release are [appropriately documented](../CONTRIBUTING.md#changelog-conventions).
-   - To-be-released changes should be under a placeholder header. Update that header to the version number which is about to be released. This project uses [semantic versioning](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-semantic-versioning).
+   - To-be-released changes should be under the "main" header.
    - Commit any final changes to the changelog.
-2. Bump the version number with `npm version VERSIONTYPE --no-git-tag-version`
-  - e.g. if making a backwards-compatible release with new features, run `npm version minor --no-git-tag-version`
-  - [`npm version`](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/commands/npm-version) will increment the version in `package.json` and `package-lock.json`.
