+# Sensitive Release Protocol
+
+In the case that a new change is so dramatic that it is hard to anticipate all of the potential side-effects, here is a protocol for rolling out these sensitive changes in a way that:
+
+- Minimizes adverse impact on end users.
+- Maximizes our responsiveness to these changes.
+
+## Protocol Steps
+
+1. Prepare a normal release.
+2. Prepare a rollback release.
+3. Roll the normal release out.
+4. In case of emergency, roll back.
+
+### Normal Release
+
+Simply follow the steps in [the publishing guide](./publishing.md).
+
+### Prepare Rollback Release
+
+1. Check out the tagged commit for the release before this new release.
+2. Increment the version over the new release by one patch.
+3. Merge the changelog of the new release into this branch, and make its own changelog refer to rolling back those changes.
+4. Push to the main repository and pull request against `master` prominently noting this is a `DO NOT MERGE` rollback pull request.
+
+### Roll the normal release out
+
+Ensure the rollback release has been built, and downloaded locally, fully ready to deploy with immediacy.
+
+For a sensitive release, initially roll out to only 1% of Chrome users (since Chrome allows incremental rollout).
+
+Monitor Sentry for any recognizable error logs.
+
+Gradually increase the rollout percentage.
+
+### In case of Emergency
+
+If a problem is detected, publish the roll-back release to 100% of users, identify the issue, fix it, and repeat this process with a new release.
+
+## Summary
+
+This protocol is a worst-case scenario, just a way to be incredibly careful about our most sensitive possible changes.
