#### 5. Publishing the post

Once the post content is ready, a new draft on [make.wordpress.org/core](https://make.wordpress.org/core/) needs to be created; this post should be published after the actual release. Remember asking for peer review is encouraged by the [make/core posting guidelines](https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/best-practices/post-comment-guidelines/#peer-review)!
Once the post content is ready, an author already having permissions to post in [make.wordpress.org/core](https://make.wordpress.org/core/) will create a new draft and import the content; this post should be published after the actual release, helping external media to echo and amplify the release news.
