Publish a Release and Hand Off to Your Label

From release readiness to the published package: confirm requirements, publish, and send the share link to your label.

1
Open the Send tab
Navigate to your project and tap Send. The top of the tab shows release readiness as a percentage — this rolls up metadata, files, credits, and agreements. Anything below 100% means something is blocking a Published status.
Green readiness, Publish as Release enabled.
2
Work through Release Requirements
Tap Release Requirements. The checklist is split by mode: Draft needs only one uploaded audio file, Published needs complete metadata, credits, and signed agreements. Each missing item links straight to the section to fix.
Each row links back to the tab that owns the missing field.
3
Publish as Release
Once Published requirements are green, tap "Publish as Release." The project is bundled into a release package — files, metadata, credits, agreement status — and locked. Your label sees the package in their dashboard immediately.
Published = locked snapshot. Further edits happen through your label.
4
Copy and send the share link
After publishing, you get a public share dialog with the release link. Copy it and send to your label, distributor, or press contact. The link works without a Vandall account and never expires.
Single link, no account needed, never expires.
5
Confirm your label picked it up
The label sees the release land in their dashboard in real time. If they confirm receipt via comment or dashboard notification, the handoff is complete. Any changes from this point go through your label, not direct re-publishes.

Send as Draft first if you want feedback; send as Release when paperwork is done.
Once published, the release is locked. Edits require a new version conversation with your label.

If something's unclear or missing, send us a note — we'll reply with the right answer or update the guide.
