About Canceling a Release

The state of a new release record is draft. You can leave it in this state while you are gathering information. When you are ready to submit the release, update its status to requested. If you decide to cancel the release, you can do so before you update the release status to requested, unless you are a Release Manager.

If you decide to cancel the release when it is in the active state, you must also cancel its associated milestones; otherwise, the workflow associated with each milestone goes into effect. See Canceling a Release in Active State.

You can only cancel a release when its in draft state, unless you are the Release Manager.
