 - Typically all packages are released at once using the same version schema
 - The ``README.md`` badges can serve as a visual reference for what versions have been released
+- Corrective Release (if needed after a standard release):
+
+  - Create a new branch from the release tag (e.g., from the ``ifcopenshell-0.8.5`` tag)
+  - Update ``VERSION`` with the ``-post1`` suffix (e.g., ``0.8.5-post1``, **not** ``.post1``)
+  - The hyphen is required for semantic versioning compliance; Blender will not process ``.post1`` suffixes correctly
+  - Follow the standard release process for the corrective version
