 ## Lifecycle
 
 Our typical process when getting ready to do a minor release vX.Y 
 (i.e. going from vX.Y to vX.Z); this process doesn't apply for patch releases.
 
-1. Follow the [instructions below](#create-website-branch) to create a release branch for vX.Y
-1. Update `www.kubeflow.org` to point at the vX.Y branch ([see below](#update-kubeflow-org))
+1. Follow the [Create website branch instructions](#create-website-branch) to create a release branch for vX.Y.
+
+1. Follow the [Deploy to Netlify instructions](#deploy-to-netlify) to set up a versioned documentation on Kubeflow website.

 1. Develop vX.Z docs on the master branch
-
-   * Follow the [instructions](#prepare-docs) below to update version numbers etc. on master for the upcoming vX.Z release
 
    * Docs for the master branch should be available on [https://master.kubeflow.org](https://master.kubeflow.org)

-##  Updating version numbers etc for the upcoming release (major, minor, or patch)
+*  If we ever need to update the default website version, follow the [Production branch instructions](#update-kubeflow-org) 
+   below to point [www.kubeflow.org](https://www.kubeflow.org) to the desired branch.
 
-We usually start updating the website for the upcoming major/minor release when
-we've released a good RC for that release. At this point, it's useful for
-users to start experimenting with the upcoming release.
+*  There are [old instructions](https://github.com/kubeflow/kubeflow/issues/6199) which have been out-of-date, but keeping a link here in case we need it in the future.
 
-When we're ready to start updating the docs for the upcoming version, we
-need to update various version numbers on the website, to ensure users are
-getting the correct installation instructions etc. Here are the steps to follow:
 
-1. Make sure the website branch for the current major/minor version has been 
-  created. For example, if we are working towards release v0.7 then make sure
-  the website branch for v0.6 exists.
-  If not, create the branch now before updating any docs for the 
-  upcoming version. See [below](#create-website-branch).

+## Creating and publishing a website branch for vX.Y
 
-1. Edit the version numbers in the site configuration file:
-   * Edit [config.toml](https://github.com/kubeflow/website/blob/master/config.toml).
 
-   * Update the parameters that set the version number for various purposes.
-     For example, if the upcoming release is Kubeflow v0.7:
-     ```
-     version_menu = "v0.7"
-     version = "v0.7"
-     ```
-
-   * Update the GitHub branch number. For example, if the upcoming release is
-     Kubeflow v0.7:
-     ```
-     githubbranch = "v0.7-branch"
-     ```
+1. Create a new section (vX.Y) for dropdown in `config.toml` ([example PR](https://github.com/kubeflow/website/commit/1deed4b4f7846d5c791350620d298a38ce906f1e#)).
