The Releases is in beta version, which means we are working to improve it. This feature is only available for stores using FastStore.
The Releases module allows you to manage your releases so that you can coordinate the creation, schedule and publication of the changes in your store.
In the navigation menu of the Releases in the VTEX Admin, you'll find the Releases and Calendar pages. You can create a new release and perform other actions under Releases.
On the Releases page, you'll see all existing releases listed by the Not scheduled status releases first, followed by those already scheduled.
The order of the scheduled releases is based on the publication date: The further into the future a release is, the sooner it'll appear on the list. However, the older the release is, the latest it'll appear.
In the beta version, releases must be CMS-related, because other VTEX platform modules are not yet included. To use the Releases, you must configure the CMS as described in Installing Releases on VTEX Headless CMS.
