What Is a Release?
Section titled “What Is a Release?”A release groups related flows into a single, versioned delivery. Instead of shipping individual changes, you bundle them into a coherent package with a name, target date, and progress tracking. This gives you a clear picture of what is going out the door and when.
Release States
Section titled “Release States”Every release moves through four states:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Brainstorm | Collecting ideas and flows for the release. Nothing is committed yet. |
| Progress | Active development. Flows are being planned and implemented. |
| Preparing | Development is done. Final checks, testing, and preparation before shipping. |
| Released | The release has been shipped. |
Creating a Release
Section titled “Creating a Release”To create a new release:
- Open your project and navigate to the Releases section
- Click “New Release”
- Fill in the details:
- Name — A version number or release name (e.g., “v2.1.0” or “Sprint 12”)
- Description — What this release includes and its goals
- Target date — When you plan to ship
- Branch name — The Git branch for this release (e.g.,
release/v2.1.0)
- Click Create
Active Release
Section titled “Active Release”Each project can have one active release at a time. When a release is set as active:
- New flows created in the project are automatically assigned to this release
- The active release is highlighted in the project sidebar and on the Kanban board
This keeps your team focused on the current delivery without manual bookkeeping.
Assigning Flows
Section titled “Assigning Flows”You can manually assign flows to a release at any time:
- From the flow detail view, select the target release
- From the Kanban board, drag flows into the release or use the flow menu
- Flows can be reassigned between releases if priorities change
Pre-Release Checklist
Section titled “Pre-Release Checklist”Before marking a release as shipped, you can define a checklist of items that need to be completed:
- Add checklist items for final tasks (e.g., “Update changelog”, “Run regression tests”, “Notify stakeholders”)
- Check off items as they are completed
- The checklist gives you confidence that nothing is missed before shipping
Progress Tracking
Section titled “Progress Tracking”Each release shows a visual progress bar based on the completion status of its flows. At a glance you can see:
- How many flows are done versus still in progress
- The overall completion percentage
- Whether you are on track for the target date
Release Pipeline
Section titled “Release Pipeline”The release pipeline view shows the status of releases across all your projects in a single overview. This is especially useful when managing multiple projects that ship on coordinated schedules.
