+### Versioning
+
+We loosely follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/) and use the `changesets` tool to manage our versioning. That means:
+
+Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
+
+MAJOR version when there is a fundamental and incompatible API changes
+MINOR version when you add functionality in a backward compatible manner or when a minor breaking changes is added
+PATCH version when you make backward compatible bug fixes
+
+#### One Major and Minor version for all packages
+
+We keep all our @react-native-ama/\* packages synced to the same version (One True Version). This means that if you make a change to one package that requires a new version, all packages will be bumped to the same version. We do this to reduce the number of dependent issues a consumer may have and prevent miss-matching package versions.
