KB: Cannot Release Requirements in Altium 365

Created: August 28, 2025 | Updated: August 28, 2025

A365

Users attempting to release a set of requirements in RSP may encounter a missing "Release" option in the interface, even when the requirement state is set to "Final". This issue is typically caused by a configuration setting that disables version management features. To enable the release functionality, users must activate the Version Management flag in the system settings. Once enabled, the release process follows the standard steps outlined in Altium’s documentation.

Solution Details

The Release option does not appear in the requirements module when attempting to release a requirement, even though the requirement state is set to Final.

Root Cause

This issue occurs because the Version Management feature is disabled in the system settings under User Flags. Without this flag enabled, the release functionality is hidden from the interface.

Resolution Steps

To resolve the issue:

Enable the Version Management flag in the system settings.
Follow the documented release steps once the feature is active.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Navigate to Settings » User Flags.
2. Locate and enable the flag labeled Version Management.

3. Return to the requirements module.
4. Click the three-dot menu next to the requirement.
5. Select Release (this option should now be visible)
6. Follow the release steps as described in the official documentation: How to Release Requirements

Additional Notes

The documentation implies—but does not explicitly state—that enabling Version Management is a prerequisite for releasing requirements. This setting is essential for accessing version control features within the requirements module.
