1. Release all modules to be included in the distribution
   1. Go to https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-distro-referenceapplication/blob/master/pom.xml and look for SNAPSHOT dependencies
   2. Change preparing.refapp.distro.release bamboo variable to 'true' (if it's not already set).
   3. Release all SNAPSHOT dependencies. Verify that the released version shows up in https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-distro-referenceapplication/blob/master/pom.xml
   4. Make sure all declared versions of modules are the latest compatible versions
2. Release the distribution from CI
   1. Go to https://ci.openmrs.org/browse/REFAPP-OMODDISTRO
   2. Every build stops/pauses at the release stage(you can observe this in the left side column nearing the bottom of the page with section titled Release having a small right-arrow/play symbol beside it).
   3. Trigger the Run command: This will deploy reference application , docker image ,qa-refApp and run UI  tests on travis if everything runs successful.
   4. After verifying the artifacts trigger the release by clicking on the play/right-arrow button next to the Release section located to the left bottom. At this point, you have the opportunity to override the variables on release version (maven.release.version) and the next snapshot on the pom file (maven.development.version);Note: The version of openmrsVersion must correspond to the version in refApp distro; otherwise, maven release plugin will just use its default values. This begins the process of releasing the OpenMRS 2.x version in maven and packaging the released modules.
   5. After a successful Release, confirm that preparing.refapp.distro.release bamboo variable is set to 'false'.
   6. Verify that demo.openmrs.org has been updated to the latest released version and it runs correct modules.
   7. Verify that modules-refapp.openmrs.org has been updated to the latest released version and it runs correct modules.
