00:00:17.414 --> 00:00:18.655
Start a new release

00:00:18.655 --> 00:00:20.966
by choosing Draft a new release.

00:00:21.666 --> 00:00:23.648

Open the tag menu by clicking Select tag.

With no matching tag shown for v2.4.0,

00:00:35.795 --> 00:00:38.621
use Create new tag to define it.

00:00:40.521 --> 00:00:43.210

00:01:06.574 --> 00:01:09.484
and custom text is added above the notes.

00:01:10.385 --> 00:01:11.982
Click into Release notes

00:01:11.982 --> 00:01:14.297
to add your own summary text.
