 # Release process
 
 This document describes the release process for the Dapr Python SDK.
-It covers all packages published from this repository:
-
-| Tag prefix | PyPI package |
-|---|---|
-| `v*` | `dapr` (core SDK) |
-| `workflow-v*` | `dapr-ext-workflow` |
-| `grpc-v*` | `dapr-ext-grpc` |
-| `fastapi-v*` | `dapr-ext-fastapi` |
-| `flask-v*` | `flask_dapr` |
-| `langgraph-v*` | `dapr-ext-langgraph` |
-| `strands-v*` | `dapr-ext-strands` |

+A single tag (`v*`) triggers the release of **all packages** published from this repository:

+| PyPI package |

+| `dapr-ext-fastapi` |
+| `flask_dapr` |
+| `dapr-ext-langgraph` |
+| `dapr-ext-strands` |
