-you [add the repository secret](#adding-the-hangar_api_token-repository-secret).
+A notable part of publishing a new version might be updating the resource page (e.g. the plugin's home page) with new content from your plugin's repository.
 
-You can add and remove branches to be published by editing the `branches` section.
+In this example, we're using a README file, but you can use any text you want, as long as it is in Markdown format.
 
-```yaml
-name: Publish to Hangar
-on:
-  push:
-    branches:
-      # Add any additional branches you want to automatically publish from
-      - main # Assuming your main branch is called 'main'

+        // ... (see above)
+        pages.resourcePage(pageContent)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can invoke the `syncPluginPublicationMainResourcePagePageToHangar` task to update the resource page on Hangar.
+This will not publish a new version, but simply update the page content on Hangar.
+
+If you're using a GitHub Actions workflow, you should also add the task invocation to the `Publish` step in your workflow:
+```yaml
+- name: Publish
+  # ...
+  run: ./gradlew build publishPluginPublicationToHangar syncPluginPublicationMainResourcePagePageToHangar --stacktrace
