You can edit a release freely while it is a Draft. Once you submit it, the information is locked so that what we review and send to stores stays the same.
What you can do in each status
| Status | Edit | Delete | Take down |

| DistroVibe review, Approved, Needs Docs, Rejected | — | ✅ | — |

I made a mistake before the release is live
If the release is still in DistroVibe review, Approved, Needs Docs or Rejected, the quickest fix is to delete it and submit a corrected version. Remember that the release date must still be at least 7 days away.
If it is already being sent to stores, it cannot be pulled back at that moment. Open a support ticket under Distribution and our team will advise.
Changing a live release
Release information cannot be edited directly once a release is live. To request a correction, such as a typo in a title or a wrong credit, open a support ticket under Distribution and include:
- the release name and UPC,
- exactly what should change.
Some changes, such as replacing the audio, cannot be made to a live release. In that case the release has to be taken down and submitted again.
