+# Releases
+
+You can turn any git tag into a release, by adding a note to it.
+Release notes behave like any other markdown form in GitLab so you can write text and drag-n-drop files to it.
+Release notes are stored in the database of GitLab.
+
+There are several ways to add release notes:
+
+* In the interface, when you create a new git tag with GitLab
+* In the interface, by adding a note to an existing git tag
+* with the GitLab API
+
+## New tag page with release notes text area
