Managing Releases

Prior to Managing a Release

Prior to managing a release, there must be an existing project that has been created in Zephyr and the project must be selected to view and manage the releases.

Scenario: You are a testing manager that just created a project and you want to manage your releases within the project.

If this is your first time managing a release, you might want to create and work in a test project that doesn't affect another project, and work out any issues you might have with managing a release before you work in a live project.

1. In Zephyr, open the project you want to manage releases for by simply clicking Projects on the top navigation bar.

2. Select a project from the list of existing projects.

3. Click on the "Manage Release" button located at the top right of the interface.
