Removing changes from a release

You can remove changes from a release in either of two ways: from the change that has been added to the release, or from the release to which the change was added. When a change that was previously added to a release is removed, all of the configuration items (CIs) or software packages that are associated with the change are also removed from the release. The following topics describe both methods of removing the changes.

About this task

A change can be removed from a release because the change has been canceled, because you have determined that the release process is not necessary for the change, or because a different release is more appropriate for the change. A Release Owner removes a change from a release.
