That is the essence of protection/deprotection chemistry. The peptide is generally attached to the resin using a functional group is is susceptible to the same cleavage conditions as the side chain protecting groups (HF for Boc peptides, TFA for Fmoc peptides) so that global deprotection and resin cleavage happen simultaneously.
