Click one of those buttons to proceed. You will be prompted to specify the version of composition you want to deploy with release.

After you have chosen the version you are going to deploy, click the Release button and the release will start.

Checking release status

It is possible to check release status on each device separately, and there are dashbords for you to easily understand how mak=ny devices succeded, how many failed and how many are still to go.

Below you can see the dashbords on different point of release:

2 devices are already done, 3 are still in progress

This dashboard can help you identify how many devices had problems to srart the release, how long does it take to push and run release on all of your devices. The dashboard will also show you how many devices are still running outdated version of release in Degraded row.

You can check how application is working using the device terminal. See TERMINAL / DEVICE
