Create a release

1. Open Quick Add in the workspace header.

2. Choose New release.

3. Enter the release title and choose its primary artist. Complete the required fields shown in the form.

4. Add the date and other known details, then submit.

5. Open the new release from Releases to continue preparing it.

Before continuing, check that the title and primary artist match the release you intended to create.

Use confirmed information. An undated release can remain in the catalog while you decide on a date.

Tip

Leave an unknown date open. A guessed identifier or placeholder date can make an unfinished record look confirmed.

A dated release receives a separate set of deadlines when the workspace has a release deadline template. An undated release starts without generated milestones.

Changing the workspace template later does not rewrite existing release deadlines. See Deadlines and templates.

Work through the parts you already know:

• Overview: the brief and key properties.

• Tracks: the tracklist and recording identifiers.

• Assets: the materials attached or linked to the release.

• Rollout: the timeline.

• Phases: operational progress.

Give accountable work its own linked task. For the full workspace layout, see Inside a release.

For a two-track single:

1. Create one release for the primary artist.

2. Add two track records to its tracklist.

3. Keep each track's ISRC on that track.

4. Use the release's UPC/EAN field for the release-level identifier.

This keeps release identity separate from recording identity. Read Tracks and identifiers when adding the track details.

Creation controls and allowed writes depend on your role and artist access.

1. Check that you are working with the intended artist.

2. Ask an administrator to check your permissions for that artist and action.

Choosing a different view does not change your access. See Roles and access.
