+            **Files that should be automatically modified:**
+            - `Cargo.toml` (version bump)
+              - `<crate>/Cargo.toml` (version bump)
+              > for patch versions only the necessary crates will receive an update
+            - `Cargo.lock` (only bumps own crate versions)
+            - `CHANGELOG.md` (finalize changelog for upcoming version)
+            
+            **Review checklist:**
+            - [ ] Confirm the version bump in `Cargo.toml` is correct
+            - [ ] Ensure `Cargo.lock` did only update our crates
+            - [ ] Review the changelog for accuracy and completeness
+            
+            Please verify these changes before merging.
+            
+            ---
+            After merging, continue by creating a new release with the tag `v${{ steps.get-version.outputs.VERSION }}`.
