# Creating Release Pipelines

The release Pipeline will inherit the sharing permissions of the original. Once it has been created, the sharing permissions of the release can be changed independently of the original.

## Releasing a pipeline

1. Click Release with the version in the top right corner of your Pipeline to release the Pipeline.

2. Complete the mandatory pre-release steps:
   1. Fill out the required metadata.
   2. Perform a Reproducible Run that includes all the latest changes.&#x20;
   3. Ensure all files in your Pipeline are either tracked in git or intentionally excluded from git.
   4. Make sure all Capsules in this Pipeline are release versions.
   5. Ensure your Pipeline does not contain an invalid App Panel.
   6. Set the Release functionality to specify whether your Pipeline will be released as a No-code App.
3. Once you complete the checklist, you can release the Pipeline.

You can find your release Pipeline under the dedicated Internal Releases dashboard along with release Capsules that have been shared with your organization.&#x20;

For Pipelines with multiple release versions, users are able to switch seamlessly between any available version of the release Pipeline by selecting the corresponding version from the drop down menu.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.codeocean.com/user-guide/release-capsules-and-pipelines/creating-release-pipelines.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
