Release method
Runway will use this release setting for each new release. You can manually change the release method for a specific release prior to submission.
Don't stage — Releases update to all users immediately.
Staged rollout to a percentage of users — Choose a percentage of users that will initially receive the update.
Default release method and the custom staged rollout automation
Runway custom staged rollout automation can roll out your update over the course of several days. In order for the automation to start your custom staged rollout sequence, the release method for the release must be set to "Staged rollout to a percentage of users". If the automation is enabled, your initial staged rollout setting will be ignored – the staged rollout percentage indicated on Day 1 of your custom staged rollout configuration will be used instead.
