# Add to Release in Visual Editor

[Visual Editor](/docs/headless-cms/about-visual-editor) allows you to add one or more entries to a release directly from the page editing interface. This reduces context switching and helps content teams prepare and organize content for publishing without leaving the Visual Editor. Whether you are preparing a single update or coordinating changes across multiple entries, this feature simplifies release management within the editing workflow.

## Add Entries to a Release from Visual Editor

To add multiple entries to a release using Visual Editor, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login/) and perform the following steps:

1.  Navigate to your [stack](/docs/headless-cms/about-stack) and select **Visual Experience**.
2.  Click **Editor** in the bottom pill menu.
3.  Click the horizontal ellipsis and select **Add to Release**.
4.  In the **Add to Release** modal, select one or more entries from the list.
    1.  A green checkmark indicates the entry is ready to be added.
    2.  Entries without a green check may require review or may not meet publishing criteria.
5.  Click **Proceed**.
6.  Select an existing **Release** or create a new one.
7.  Select one or more **Locales**.
8.  Click **Add with Reference** to publish the referenced entries along with the selected entry.
    
    **Note:** You must select at least one entry to proceed.

## Add a Specific Entry to a Release

You can also add an individual entry to a release directly from the **Form panel** while viewing the entry in Visual Editor.

To add a specific entry to a release:

1.  Use the **URL bar** to open the page associated with the entry.
2.  Open the entry in the **Form panel**.
3.  Click the **entry actions** menu and select **Add to Release**.
4.  Choose the target **Release** and **Locales**.
5.  Click **Add** to confirm.

After the entries are added, a confirmation message appears indicating that the request is in progress. You can click **View Release** to monitor the status and track the entries included in the release.
