When a PO (Product Owner) or a Team Leader navigates to Publish a release from here -> https://github.com/liquibase/liquibase/releases/, the workflow from /workflow/release-published.yml job is triggered.
When a release is triggered, the workflow file will stop after Setup step and an email will be sent out to the list of approvers mentioned in job manual_trigger_deployment. You can click on the link and perform anyone of the options mentioned in description.
A minimum of 2 approvers are needed in order for the other jobs such as deploy_maven, deploy_javadocs, publish_to_github_packages, etc to be executed.
