How to Use the Release View

Chisel’s release view allows users to easily visualize their release cycles and which features will belong to each release cycle.

Release Landing Page

• Upon clicking the release view on the left, you will be placed on a screen with various releases shown on the top header.
• Also, the various components that make up your product will be on the right below the headers.
• All the features for the product will be in the same release that you placed them inside the treeview.

• For feature actions like editing the title of features, etc, click on the ellipsis.
• Any end dates for features, labels, and people working on the feature will be easily visible.

• You can easily drag features between releases if you want to move a feature up or down releases.
• Clicking on a feature will result in the side panel with the same functionality as the one in the treeview and the Kanban view.

Adding a Release

From Treeview

• You can add a release by clicking on the ‘add another release‘ button at the bottom after all the current releases.
• Once you do, a text field will appear, letting you type the release’s name.
• Once you choose a name, hit Enter and the release will be finalized.
• A few things to remember when mapping:
  • A feature can have multiple releases assigned. 
  • A sub-feature will have only a single release assigned 
  • When you select a release for a sub-feature, it will automatically assign the release to its corresponding feature as well. 

From Release View

• Click on +Add another release
• Enter the Release title
• Press Enter or simply click outside the box

Rearranging a Release

• If you want to move your releases from right to left or vice versa, you can easily do that too.
• Go to any release title, and click on the edit icon to open the tab with all the ‘Release Actions.’
• Once here, you can click on ‘Move to Right’ or ‘Move to left‘ based on your requirements.
• Accordingly, you can see the changes in your release view.
