4. yarn release:tag (push the newly created tag)

Something strange happened on this one. I was following a link on Twitter and https://next.mui.com/x/react-tree-view/ gave me a 404.

Looking at why, it's because we pushed v6.0.0 to the branch. Proof https://github.com/mui/mui-x/activity?ref=docs-next:

I fixed it with another push.

Not sure what was the problem, but docs-v6 was also 2 months old and on 6.18.0. 🤷 🙈
I've pushed the latest master there and now the doc is up to date.
