+## Build and Publish Snap Package workflow
+
+This workflow builds a `snap` package and uploads it to the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store).  It has a `workflow_dispatch` trigger so it can be triggered manually only, it is not hooked up to any other GH event.
+
+The store upload requires the `SNAPCRAFT_STORE_CREDENTIALS` variable to be set in [Github Secrets](https://github.com/decred/dcrdex/settings/secrets/actions).  
+See https://github.com/snapcore/action-publish for details.

 ## Debian
 Build with `./pkg/pkg-debian.sh`. The deb archive is located in **./build**.
 
-For development, you'll need to install the WebKit Development Libraries.
-`apt install libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev`
-For production, they are specified as DEPENDS in the control file and the
-package manager will install them.
+For development, you'll need to install the WebKit Development Libraries and the standard build toolchain:
+
+```bash
+apt install libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev build-essential
+```
+For production, they are specified as DEPENDS in the control file and the package manager will install them.
+
+## Snap
+
+This build environment uses LXD containers under the hood.   It's advised to run this on an Ubuntu system (ideally in a VM; the Snap components require system-wide installation).  Ubuntu takes care of the configuration of the toolchain, other distributions require additional steps to initialize LXD.
+
+Build environment setup:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install snapd
+sudo snap install --classic snapcraft
+```
+
+Run the build:
+
+```bash
+./pkg/pkg-snap.sh
+```
+
+This builds the snap package in **./build**.  Note that this is dependent on the Debian package being in place so be sure to run `./pkg/pkg-debian.sh` first.
+
+### Testing locally
+
+```bash
+sudo snap install --dangerous build/dexc_*.snap
+```
+
+### Publishing to the Snap store
+
+The snap can be uploaded to the Snap Store using `./pkg/publish-snap.sh`. Once the publish is complete the package can be installed on other systems using `snap install dexc`.
 
 ## MacOS (darwin)
-Build with `./pkg/pkg-darwin.sh` for `amd64` MacOS machines. If running on an
-`arm64` machine, you'll need to build with `TARGETS=darwin/arm64 ./pkg/pkg-darwin.sh` instead.
-The `.dmg` click installer can be located in **./pkg/installers** after a successful build.
