1. Login to http://oss.sonatype.org/
2. Click "Staging Repositories" in the left column, then select the checkbox next to the staged repository on the right. The contents of it will open up at the bottom of the page.
3. With the staged repository still selected, click the "Close" button at the top.
4. Download and test that the artifacts in staging are exactly as they should be once deployed to central.

   Info
   title If you need to revert back
   If anything is incorrect, select the staged repository and select "Drop". After the problem is resolved, you can re-deploy the artifacts to staging and verify them again. To re-deploy an already-tagged release: mvn release:perform -Dtag=dspace-x.y -DconnectionUrl=scm:svn:https://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/dspace -Darguments="-Dgpg.keyname=YourKeyId -Dgpg.passphrase=YourKeyPassword"

5. If everything looks good, select the repository and select "Release". The artifacts should be synced to Maven central (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/org/dspace/) within an hour.

   Warning
   title Once Released, There is No Un-Do"Undo" Option
   Once you select "Release", there is no way to "undo" the release. You'll have to perform a new bug-fix release, if any issues are found.
