# Release A Template Release Or A Linked Template Release

Once you have filled in all required data into the form of a new template release or linked template release and saved the form, you have to decide if and with which state you want to publish the template (linked) release.

The release is in the default state at that time. This means its workflow state is ‘Unreleased’. You could choose another state from the listing in the menubar on the left side (see screenshot below). Click on the appropriate entry in this menubar and you get a listing with the available further workflow state (drop down menu):

- Release alpha –> Alpha Release
- Release beta –> Beta Release
- Release candidate
- Final Release.

If a template release or linked template release should not be public available anymore, it could be hidden. Therefor you choose ‘Hide release’ from the entries in the listing in the menu entry (drop down menu).

In case a release got the state ‘hidden’ the owner could later decide to ‘unhide’ it. Therefor she / he make a mouse click on the entry ‘Hidden’ in the menubar on the left side and choose the entry ‘Unhide release’. The (linked) template release will get the state ‘Unreleased’ again and it is possible to publish it in one of the workflow states again, which are listed above.
