Release Planning Guide

Store-Specific Delivery Offsets
Releases delivered later than the recommended timeframes might not be ingested by stores on time for your planned release date.
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED
We strongly advise you to upload your release 4 weeks before the exclusive/regular release date, on a Monday or Friday. Therefore leaving the "Assisted dates" checkbox makes a lot of sense.
We put in the calendar when uploading the release, wherein green you can see those days your release should ideally be uploaded.
