Product Definition Release Status

Each product published to Informed Design creates a new release. Releases are managed in the Informed Design Web Application.

Each Release of a Product can be 'Active' (available to the Revit user), or 'Obsolete' (unavailable to the Revit user). Multiple Releases can be active concurrently, but only one per-product can serve as the Default.

The web application may be used to make out-of-date releases Obsolete, and to designate which of the available releases is the 'Default' release recommended for designers using the product.
