Select the ["RELEASE: Build release" workflow](https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/actions/workflows/build-release.yml), provide the new version of GOV.UK Frontend you are releasing and run the workflow on the `main` branch.

| - [GDS: govuk-design-system](https://gds.slack.com/archives/CAF8JA25U) | |
