 ### Steps
 
-- Run `scripts/releaser.sh` to create a new GitHub release.
+- Run `scripts/releaser.sh` to create a new GitHub release. Alternatively you can create a release in the GitHub UI making sure to click on the autogenerate release node feature.
 - The step above will trigger the Kubernetes based CI/CD system [Prow](https://prow.k8s.io/?repo=kubernetes-sigs%2Fexternal-dns). Verify that a new image was built and uploaded to `gcr.io/k8s-staging-external-dns/external-dns`.
 - Create a PR in the [k8s.io repo](https://github.com/kubernetes/k8s.io) (see https://github.com/kubernetes/k8s.io/pull/540 for reference) by taking the current staging image using the sha256 digest. Once the PR is merged, the image will be live with the corresponding tag specified in the PR.
 - Verify that the image is pullable with the given tag (i.e. `v0.7.5`).
