Every release follows the same path. You can watch it move through each stage on the release page.
- Draft - you are still building it. Nothing is sent yet.
- In review - you sent it to the label. We listen and check it.
- Agreement - we accepted it. Your contract is being prepared, then sent for you to sign.
- SACEM registration - for publishing, the works are declared and we wait for validation.
- Distribution - your release is being delivered to stores and streaming platforms.
- Live - it is out in the world.
At each step a short banner tells you where things stand and whether anything is waiting on you (for example, "Your contract has been sent - please sign it to continue").
If we ask for changes Sometimes we send a release back with a reason ("Changes requested"). Fix the points listed and resend. It goes back into review.
After it is live You can still request an edit to a live release. See "Editing a release that is already live".
