Release a product file

Manage your product files to indicate which have been released to the public. You can also provide the date it was released. Marking a product file as released can affect its score.

You can release a single product file or multiple product files at once. See Bulk edit product files for details.

1. Expand the Vendor Tools menu and select Product Files.
2. Locate the product file you want to release.
   
   

    Search Tip

   Use the filter and search features to display a set of files with specific attributes or help locate a particular file. See Filter and search for files for full instructions on using these features.

3. Click the More Actions button on the far right of the row and select Make Released.
   The selected product file now appears in the Released and All reports. In the All report, product files marked as released display the symbol to the right of the score.
4. Locate the product file you just released and add the appropriate release date in the Public Release column.
   A check mark symbol appears briefly to the left of the row to indicate the product file details have been updated.
