 ## Building Packages
 
-Since we are using [`TypeScript`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), you need to transpile the code to JavaScript to be

-packages at once by calling `yarn build` in the project root.
+Since we are using [`TypeScript`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/), you need to transpile the code to JavaScript to be able to use it. From the top level of the repo, there are three commands available:
+
+- `yarn build:dev`, which runs a one-time build of ES5 and ES6 versions of every package
+- `yarn build:dev:filter <name of npm package>`, which runs `yarn build:dev` only in projects relevant to the given package (so, for example, running `yarn build:dev:filter @sentry/react` will build the `react` package, all of its dependencies (`utils`, `core`, `browser`, etc), and all packages which depend on it (currently `gatsby` and `nextjs`))
+- `yarn build:dev:watch`, which runs `yarn build:dev` in watch mode (recommended)
 
 ## Adding Tests
 
-**Any nontrivial fixes/features should include tests.** You'll find a `test` folder in each package.

 Note that _for the `browser` package only_, if you add a new file to the [integration test suite](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/tree/master/packages/browser/test/integration/suites), you also need to add it to [the list in `shell.js`](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/blob/b74e199254147fd984e7bb1ea24193aee70afa74/packages/browser/test/integration/suites/shell.js#L25) as well. Adding tests to existing files will work out of the box in all packages.

 ## Publishing a Release
 
 _These steps are only relevant to Sentry employees when preparing and publishing a new SDK release._
 
 1. Determine what version will be released (we use [semver](https://semver.org)).
-2. Update [`CHANGELOG.md`](https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/edit/master/CHANGELOG.md) to add an entry to the next release number and a list of changes since the last release.
