Promoting Build Releases

Overview:

You can promote builds in two places:

  • The Releases tab — promotes a single release.
  • The History tab — promotes a snapshot (a full set of releases across repositories).

Both methods move content from one environment to another, but what they include — and when you’d use them — is different.

Promote from the Releases Tab (Single Release) Does not Include Launch Buttons

  1. Open the Solsta Desktop App.
  2. Go to your Product.
  3. Click the Environment that contains the release.
  4. Under that environment, open the Repository.
  5. Go to the Releases tab.
  6. In the Actions column, click Promote Release.
  7. Choose the target environment and confirm.

➡️ Use this for promoting one release or component (like a client-only update).

Promote from the History Tab (Snapshot) Including Launch Buttons

  1. Open the Solsta Desktop App.
  2. Go to your Product.
  3. Click the Environment you want to promote from.
  4. Open the History tab.
  5. Click the three dots (…) next to the snapshot.
  6. Select Promote Snapshot.
  7. Choose the target environment and confirm.
  8. (Optional) Select Include Launch Buttons to move them too.

➡️ Use this when multiple releases (like client + server) were tested together or when you want to include Launch Buttons.
