 ## Notes
 - You must provide a tag either via the action input or the git ref (i.e push / create a tag). If you do not provide a tag the action will fail.
 - If the tag of the release you are creating does not yet exist, you should set both the `tag` and `commit` action inputs. `commit` can point to a commit hash or a branch name (ex - `main`).
+- In the example above only required permissions for the action specified (which is `contents: write`). If you add other actions to the same workflow you should expand `permissions` block accordingly.
