The Release Readiness Panel in Velveteen

Updated June 13, 2026

The short answer

The Release Readiness panel sits at the top of a draft release. It shows a count of open issues, jump links to each problem, and Release fixes and Track fixes you can apply. When nothing is left, it reads All set and Submit for Review becomes available.

The panel is the control center for getting a release ready. Everything you need to clear is listed in one place.

What the panel shows

Issue count

A running total of open readiness issues across the release and its tracks.

Jump links

Each issue links to the exact release or track field that needs attention.

Release fixes and Track fixes

Groups of one-click fixes for issues Velveteen can resolve for you.

All set

The state shown when no issues remain, which enables Submit for Review.

Using it

  1. 1

    Read the count

    Start with the number of open issues so you know how much is left.
  2. 2

    Jump to each issue

    Use a jump link to go straight to the field, on the release or on a specific track.
  3. 3

    Apply fixes

    Use Apply fixes to clear the issues Velveteen can fix automatically, then handle the rest by hand.

Tip

Apply the quick fixes first. They often clear several issues at once and shrink the list to just the fields that need your input.
