Manage a Release

Once a release exists, editing it directly is deliberately limited — most of what you'd want to do to it happens by pointing other things at it instead.

Permission level: update-release to change a draft; edit-released-release (a separate, narrower permission) to edit one that's already released

Where it lives​

Project Detail → Releases → select a release.

You generally can't edit a published release​

A draft or in_review release stays fully editable in the wizard. Once a release is released, it's effectively locked — editing it back open needs the specific edit-released-release permission, which most people won't have. If you need to change something, Duplicate it into a new version instead of trying to edit the original.

Status changes​

A release's status can be moved directly: Draft → In Review → Released → Archived. Archived is the one status change available from any state — including a released release — so it's the escape hatch for "this needs to stop being offered right now" without touching its content. Treat it as the emergency option, not routine cleanup.

Everything else happens by linking to it​

A release itself doesn't have settings beyond status. What it's for is controlled elsewhere, all pointing back at this release:
