FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent manual edits to package.json and CHANGELOG.md in a Changesets repository?▼

Prevent manual edits by enforcing .changeset entries for version bumps and changelog updates. This avoids synchronization issues and duplicated entries, ensuring all release tracking is sourced from the Changesets flow.

When do I need to add a Changeset entry to my pull request?▼

Add a Changeset entry when your pull request introduces changes that warrant a version bump or consumer-facing changelog update. Clear guidelines help ensure only relevant changes are recorded in the release tracking process.

Does this work with any repository using @changesets/cli?▼

Yes, it applies to any repository configured with a .changeset/config.json file and the @changesets/cli package. It integrates with the changeset add and version flows to maintain automated release tracking and versioning integrity.

Why does manually updating the version in package.json cause release issues?▼

Manual version updates cause synchronization issues and duplicate changelog entries because they bypass the automated Changesets flow. Relying on .changeset entries ensures accurate, conflict-free release tracking across the repository.

What is the best way to manage version bumps in a Changesets-driven monorepo?▼

The best way is using the changeset add and version flows to generate .changeset entries, which automatically synchronize package.json versions and CHANGELOG.md files without requiring manual edits or risking duplication.
