Create a New Release

A Release contains a set of entries and assets that you want to deploy (publish/unpublish) to a particular environment at once.

Note: When working within specific branches, releases created will be specific to that particular branch. For example, if you create a release within the development branch, you will be able to add items to this release that are only within the development branch. Refer to our Branch-specific Modules document for more information.

To create a release, log in to your Contentstack account, and perform the following steps:

1. Go to your stack, and click on the “Releases” icon located on the left navigation panel. You can also use the shortcut key “alt + R” for Windows OS users, and “option + R” for Mac OS users to access Releases.
2. You can either click on the + New Release button located at the top-left side of the page.
3. In the Create a New Release box, provide a suitable Name and Description for the release.
4. After entering the details, click on Save.

Now, you can add item(s) to the release and deploy it to an environment.

To perform this create action via API, refer to the Create a release API request.
