Create a release with its artist, type, and date, and add artwork and metadata as you go.

Add a release from the Create menu

  1. Choose the pencil button at the top of the sidebar, then Release. You can also press ⌘⇧R on a Mac.

  2. Choose the artist under Select artist.

  3. Enter the Release title.

  4. Pick the type and status.

  5. Set the release date if you know it. Today, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks fill it in quickly.

  6. Optional: set the priority and a target window, such as Q4 2026.

  7. Choose Create release, or press ⌘ Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows).

The new release opens. If something is missing, the form says Release title is required. or Select an artist to continue. Your entries stay in the form if saving fails.

Use the full form for more detail

On Releases, choose New Release for the full form. Besides the title, artist, type, date, and notes, it has:

  • Artwork, Status, and Label.

  • Explicit, in the type menu.

  • More: priority, collaborators, pre-save, stems, and masters links, announce date, release window, deadlines, producers, writers, publishing and master splits, ISRC, genre, UPC / EAN, tags, and custom fields.

Choose Create Release to save. When you create a Single from the full form, it starts with one track named after the release.

Choose a type

Types are Single, EP, Album, Collab, and Remix. A remix also asks for the original artist, and its collaborators are listed as featured artists. Collaborators can be other artists on your roster or external names.

Add artwork

Open the release form with New Release or Edit Release, choose Artwork, then Add artwork.

  • Use a square JPG, PNG, or WebP image.

  • It must be at least 800 × 800 pixels and at most 25 MB.

Artwork is needed for Share to Stories.

What happens when you set a date

A release created with a date of today or later gets the default release plan: seven deadlines counted back from the release date. A release without a date gets the plan when you first give it a date of today or later. Releases with a past date, and releases added by import, start without the plan.

See Plan deadlines for a release.

Keep unknown details open

Leave the date empty until it is confirmed. An undated release shows No release date and stays in the list without generated deadlines. Leave identifiers such as ISRC and UPC empty until you have the real codes.

If you cannot add a release

Creating a release needs a role that can edit: Owner, Manager, Artist, or Coordinator. A Viewer can read releases but cannot add them. A member limited to specific artists can add releases only for those artists. See Invite your team and set roles.
