Releases
The Releases page shows the releases that have been created in a Project.
Release List (empty)
The files that can added to new release are files that you have previously been added through the Files section. You can create multiple releases per project.
For example, to create a new release, you would fill the version and description of cases of your release, and select the files (firmware images and YAML files) you want to be part of your release.

New Release
In this case, we need to create a release of
the firmware image (STM32L4_IOT_HR.elf)
and of the YAML file (suite-stm32l4DK-IOT-BLE.yaml)
for the “IoTSDK Demo” project.
These two files are therefore checked when creating the release that
we named “STM32L4 IoT node BLE”.
