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.
You'll find the Calendar and Releases pages in the navigation menu of the Releases in the VTEX Admin. You can create a new release and perform other actions under Calendar.
You can view the Calendar page in three ways:
- View per month: It shows the releases scheduled for every day of the month you selected.
- View per week: It shows the releases scheduled for a certain week.
- View per day: It shows the releases scheduled for the selected day and the changes related to the selected release.
Calendar only shows scheduled releases. To view all your releases, access the Releases page.
In the beta version, the 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.
