+## Execution order
+
+For the lifecycles, the list at the top of the readme contains the order. If there are multiple plugins for the same lifecycle, then the order of the plugins determines the order in which they are executed.
+
+## Handling errors
+
+In order to be able to detect and handle errors properly, the errors thrown from the must be of type [SemanticReleaseError](https://github.com/semantic-release/error) or extend it as described in the package readme. This way the errors are handled properly and plugins using the `fail` lifecycle receive the errors correctly. For any other types of errors the internal error handling does nothing, lets them through up until the final catch and does not call any `fail` plugins.
+
+## Advanced
+
+Knowledge that might be useful for plugin developers.
+
+### Multiple analyzeCommits plugins
+
+While it may be trivial that multiple analyzeCommits (or any lifecycle plugins) can be defined, it is not that self-evident that the plugins executed AFTER the first one (for example, the default one: `commit-analyzer`) can change the result. This way it is possible to create more advanced rules or situations, e.g. if none of the commits would result in new release, then a default can be defined.
+
+The commit must be a known release type, for example the commit-analyzer has the following default types:
+* major
+* premajor
+* minor
+* preminor
+* patch
+* prepatch
+* prerelease
+
+If the analyzeCommits-lifecycle plugin does not return anything, then the earlier result is used, but if it returns a supported string value, then that overrides the previous result.

-## Can I use semantic-release with Yarn?
-
-If you are using a [local](../usage/installation.md#local-installation) **semantic-release** installation and run multiple CI jobs with different versions, the `yarn install` command will fail on jobs running with Node < 8 as **semantic-release** requires [Node >= 10.18](#why-does-semantic-release-require-node-version--1018) and specifies it in its `package.json`s [`engines`](https://docs.npmjs.com/files/package.json#engines) key.
-
-The recommended solution is to use the [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) [--ignore-engines](https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/install#toc-yarn-install-ignore-engines) option to install the project dependencies on the CI environment, so Yarn will ignore the **semantic-release**'s `engines` key:
-
-```bash
-$ yarn install --ignore-engines
-```
-
-**Note**: Several CI services use Yarn by default if your repository contains a `yarn.lock` file. So you should override the install step to specify `yarn install --ignore-engines`.
-
-Alternatively you can use a [global](../usage/installation.md#global-installation) **semantic-release** installation and make sure to install and run the `semantic-release` command only in a CI jobs running with Node >= 10.18.
-
-If your CI environment provides [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm) you can switch to Node 8 before installing and running the `semantic-release` command:
-
-```bash
-$ nvm install 8 && yarn global add semantic-release && semantic-release
-```
-
-See the [CI configuration recipes](../recipes/README.md#ci-configurations) for more details on specific CI environments.
-
-As `semantic-release` is recommended to be executed with [`npx`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/npx) an alternative is required for usage with Yarn. Even though it is possible to install npx with Yarn, it's not recommended. Yarn and npx would be using different cache locations.

You will have to upgrade manually when a new major version is released.
 
 **Note**: `npx` is a tool bundled with `npm@>=5.2.0`. It is used to conveniently install the semantic-release binary and to execute it. See [What is npx](../support/FAQ.md#what-is-npx) for more details.

 ### Pre-release branches
 
 A pre-release branch is a type of branch used by **semantic-release** that allows to publish releases with a [pre-release version](https://semver.org/#spec-item-9).
-Using a pre-release version allow to publish multiple releases with the same version. Those release will be differentiated via there identifiers (in `1.0.0-alpha.1` the identifier is `alpha.1`).
+Using a pre-release version allow to publish multiple releases with the same version. Those release will be differentiated via their identifiers (in `1.0.0-alpha.1` the identifier is `alpha.1`).
 This is useful when you need to work on a future major release that will include many breaking changes but you do not want to increment the version number for each breaking change commit.
 
 A pre-release branch is characterized by the `prerelease` property that defines the static part of the version released (in `1.0.0-alpha.1` the static part fo the identifier is `alpha`). The [`prerelease`](#prerelease) value of each pre-release branch must be unique across the project.
