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.

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

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.

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