# Releases Menu Item

In Cloud CMS, [Releases](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/branches/releases.md) describes the ability for the product to allow multiple branches to be forked, merged and scheduled for automatic promotion of content to a live environment. It offers scheduled publishing, conflict detection and offers an ideal solution for editors to coordinate the delivery of content in situations where multiple editorial efforts may be running concurrently.

When [Releases](/documentation/gitana/4.0/engine/branches/releases.md) is enabled for a Project, a `Releases` menu item shows up in the left-hand menu when you're viewing the project.

In some cases, you may want to adjust who can see this Releases page.

Suppose that we only want users who have the `releases-worker` role within the Project to be able to see the Releases menu item. Suppose further that we want to rename `Releases` to `Product Launches`.

We could use the following configuration:

```
{
    "config": {
        "blocks": [
            {
                "evaluator": "and",
                "condition": [
                    {
                        "evaluator": "context-project"
                    },
                    {
                        "evaluator": "project-releases-enabled"
                    }
                ],
                "config": {
                    "project-context": {
                        "items": [
                            {
                                "key": "project/explore/heading",
                                "allowAuthority": [
                                    "releases-viewer"
                                ],
                                "items": [
                                    {
                                        "key": "project/releases",
                                        "title": "Product Launches",
                                        "defaultTeam": true,
                                        "defaultAuthority": false,
                                        "defaultPermission": true,
                                        "allowAuthority": [
                                            "releases-viewer"
                                        ]
                                    }
                                ]
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "projectId": "263e5cfdba62beb512af",
    "enabled": true
}
```

This configuration technically does 3 things:

1.  It allows anyone who has the `releases-viewer` in the Project to view the Explore grouping.
2.  It allows anyone who has the `releases-viewer` role in the Project to view the Explore/Releases item in the Explore grouping.
3.  It renames the `project/releases` item to `Product Launches`.

So that's that.

What if we wanted to allow anyone on the `releases-viewer` Team to see the Releases menu item (using a Team instead of an Authority)? We can make a slight tweak to the following:

```
{
    "config": {
        "blocks": [
            {
                "evaluator": "and",
                "condition": [
                    {
                        "evaluator": "context-project"
                    },
                    {
                        "evaluator": "project-releases-enabled"
                    }
                ],
                "config": {
                    "project-context": {
                        "items": [
                            {
                                "key": "project/explore/heading",
                                "allowTeam": [
                                    "releases-viewer"
                                ],
                                "items": [
                                    {
                                        "key": "project/releases",
                                        "title": "Product Launches",
                                        "defaultTeam": false,
                                        "defaultAuthority": true,
                                        "defaultPermission": true,
                                        "allowTeam": [
                                            "releases-viewer"
                                        ]
                                    }
                                ]
                            }
                        ]
                    }
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    "projectId": "263e5cfdba62beb512af",
    "enabled": true
}
