Manage Release

Release Method

Before submitting for review, you can manage your release schedule by setting up your release method in the Manage Releases tab.


The release date can only be set up to 30 days in the future and will reflect the user's local time zone.


Worlds with a release date will be moved to the [Scheduled] status after review approval.

In the [Scheduled] state, the world is not exposed as it has not actually been released.

If you want to release the world without waiting for the release date, you can use the Immediate Publishing feature to release the world.


Released Country

On the Manage Release tab, you can set release countries to release your world only in certain countries.


Users in countries excluded from the launch will not be able to view/access the world.


Release Notification

The Manage Releases tab has added the Send Notifications option, which allows you to send notifications when a world is released.


Depending on the version status of the world, notifications will be sent to different audiences.

  • Newly released worlds: Send notifications to all followers
  • Updated worlds: Send notifications to users who have played the world within 30 days.

Send notifications option can only be set for all country releases, and for worlds that are only available in certain countries, don't send notification option is automatically selected.

❗️

caution

Release notifications may be sent up to 10 minutes later, depending on the situation.

You can submit your world by clicking on the [Submit for review] button in the [File registration] tab.

Review finished - Published

If your world has no problems, the review will be completed and the world will be automatically released.
Once the world has been released, it will be exposed to all users of ZEPETO and any user will be able to visit the world at any time.

If you want to deactive your world, use the [Stop release] function in the More menu on the right.
If you haven’t made any changes to the world after stopping release, you may re-release the world without further review.

If you want to see your released world in ZEPETO, click the [Sign into ZEPETPO World] link.
Once you have clicked the link, a popup will appear that will allow you to move to the world that you have released.


If you wish to change a world that has already been released, you need a version update.
