 #### 3.2.2 API Spec Versioning
-- :white_check_mark: The info.version field **MUST** be set and follow the semver format (e.g. `1.0.0`). This field can be used to communicate changes in the api, together with a changelog.
+API spec versioning is done automatically when [publishing the spec](https://github.com/entur/gha-api/blob/main/README-publish.md).
+The version is set based on the [CalVer](https://calver.org/) versioning convention, and uses the format YYYY.MM.MICRO. When the spec is
+published, the current year and month is used, and MICRO is set to "00". If a version already exists for the given year and month, "01" is used (and so on).
+If the published spec is equal to the current spec, no new version is created. Because versioning is done automatically, the value in `info.version` is ignored, 
+but must be set in order for linting to pass, therefore a placeholder value like `1.0.0` may be used.
