Edit before submitting
What you can change while the release is in draft and how changes are saved.
While a release is in Draft, everything is editable: you can move between the wizard steps and change any field as many times as you want.
Changes save themselves
The wizard autosaves. You'll see indicators like Saving… and Saved at …. There's no "save" button to press between steps.
Nothing is locked yet
In draft you can freely change the date, time, timezone, label, codes and the rest of the metadata. Those fields only lock once the release leaves draft.
Before submitting
Open the Review → Summary tab to see the validation checklist. It tells you what's missing and in which section. The Submit for Review button enables when all checks are green.
Discarding a draft
If you decide not to continue with a draft release, you can delete it from the release list.
