How do releases take place?

All the instant apps are published to npm registry here. Currently, we have an action setup which bumps up the package version, commits the tag and publishes the package.

These are minor releases i.e. v0.3.0 -> v0.4.0

If there's a need for running the action manually, just go into the actions tab and click on the workflow to find the follow button:
