 Additionally, releases are used for applying [source maps](https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/javascript/sourcemaps/) to minified JavaScript to view original, untransformed source code. You can learn more about releases in the [releases documentation](https://docs.sentry.io/workflow/releases).
 
+## What's new
+
+* **feat(sourcemaps): Add inject option to inject debug ids into source files and sourcemaps**
+
+A new option to inject Debug IDs into source files and sourcemaps was added to the action to ensure proper un-minifaction of your stacktraces. We **strongly recommend enabling** this by setting `inject: true` in your action alongside providing a path to sourcemaps.
+
+Please refer to the [release page](https://github.com/getsentry/action-release/releases) for the latest release notes.

 ### Examples
 
-- Create a new Sentry release for the `production` environment and upload JavaScript source maps from the `./lib` directory.
+- Create a new Sentry release for the `production` environment, inject Debug IDs into JavaScript source files and sourcemaps and upload them from the `./dist` directory.
 
     ```yaml
     - uses: getsentry/action-release@v1
       with:
         environment: 'production'
-        sourcemaps: './lib'
+        inject: true
+        sourcemaps: './dist'
     ```
 
 - Create a new Sentry release for the `production` environment of your project at version `v1.0.1`.
