The bulk **Add to Release** feature allows you to select multiple entries and add them to a release simultaneously. This functionality streamlines the release management process by reducing the steps required to prepare multiple entries for deployment.

To bulk add entries to a release, log in to your [Contentstack account](https://www.contentstack.com/login) and perform the steps given below:
- Go to your [stack](/docs/developers/set-up-stack/about-stack) and click the “Entries” icon on the left navigation panel. You can also use the shortcut key “E” (for both Windows OS and Mac OS users) to access Entries.
- Use the checkboxes to select the entries you want to add to a release.**Note:** You can select a maximum of **100 entries** at once.
- Once you have selected the entries, a floating panel will appear on the page. Click the **Add to Realization** option in this panel.
- In the **Added to Release** modal, either select an existing release or create a new one.**Note:** For older releases, you may receive a warning message indicating that references will not be included, or that only one level of nesting is allowed for single items. To avoid this, [create](/docs/content-managers/create-and-manage-releases/create-a-new-release) a new release or [clone](/docs/content-managers/create-and-manage-releases/clone-a-release) the older release.
- Select the languages in which you want to deploy the entries. Specify the action you want to perform—either **Publish** or **Unpublish**.
- Select **Add with References** to include all referenced entries or **Add without References** to add only the selected entries.**Note**Nested references up to a default depth of **5 levels** will be included, for both single and bulk add to release actions, and can vary as per your organization’s plan.
- View the bulk add to release action logs in the [Stack Bulk Task Queue](/docs/content-managers/author-content/stack-bulk-task-queue).

This streamlined process ensures that you can efficiently manage and add multiple entries to a release.
