Managing Release Actions

Once a Release Pipeline is triggered, you can control its progression using the following actions. These controls allow you to safely test, pause, fast-track, or halt propagation of feature gate and config changes across pipeline phases.
Release pipeline management actions

​
Approve

What it does: Kick off a phase that requires a manual approval before rollout begins. This is useful when human verification is required before changes move forward. How to use it:
  1. The pipeline will automatically pause at the last completed phase awaiting approval
  2. You will receive a notification prompting you to take action
  3. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  4. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Approve’
  5. Confirm the action — the next phase will begin rolling out

​
Pause

What it does: Stops the bake timer between two phases. Useful if you want to delay rolling out the next phase in order to investigate the current phase. :::note Pause does not stop the current phase — only the timer to move to the next phase. ::: How to use it:
  1. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  2. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Pause’
  3. Confirm to pause the bake timer

​
Unpause

What it does: Resumes a previously paused bake timer, allowing the pipeline to move to the next phase after the remaining wait time. How to use it:
  1. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  2. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Unpause’
  3. Confirm to resume the bake timer

​
Skip

What it does: Immediately skips the current phase and moves rollout to the next defined phase. Useful for fast-tracking safe changes. How to use it:
  1. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  2. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Skip’
  3. Confirm to resume the bake timer

​
Abort

What it does: Halts the release process. The feature gate or dynamic config will revert to its pre-release state, and no further changes will propagate. Important: Aborting a release is an irreversible action. Once aborted, you will need to trigger a new release to restart the process with any modifications. How to use it:
  1. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  2. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Abort’
  3. Confirm to resume the bake timer

​
Full Roll Out

What it does: Skips all intermediate phases and releases the latest version across all environments and custom attributes once. How to use it:
  1. Go to the Release Pipeline status page
  2. Click the ⋯ menu and select ‘Full Roll Out’
  3. Confirm to resume the bake timer
