Transition from Release Candidate to Released

The Release Candidate status is one condition to be met before a publication output can be set to Released, but there is more to it: all the Baseline objects need to be released.

The Released status requires that all Baseline objects are available and released, which is not necessarily the case with Release Candidate publication outputs. Here are the cases when a Baseline can contain objects that are not considered for the acquisition of the Release Candidate status but are for the acquisition of the Released status.
  • All objects in the Baseline must be available and released in the publication version's Working language and Working resolution. A Release Candidate may have some of those replaced by released Fallback language and Working resolution objects.
  • The content that is conditioned out of a publication output is still part of the Baseline, and therefore must also be available and released in the publication version's Working language and Working resolution before the Released status can be acquired. The conditioned out content is not considered for a Release Candidate.
