Steps to enable Release Mode functionality:
Click on the Settings button in the top right corner of your project space. Choose ‘Project Settings’; under Project Information on the left side, click ‘Basic’.
Scroll down and mark the tick to the box of Enable Release Mode.
Click the Update Basic Info button at the bottom to save the changes.
...
If you have the Release Mode setting enabled for your project space, you can see an option to lock or unlock the release mode for your application. By default, the release mode is disabled, meaning all the options associated with each application version are view-only. The state of the application version can't be changed.
...
Click on the lock icon. This unlocks the release mode for the application, and you can now change the state of an application version. Mark the required version as Released by clicking the Released button on the build option.
...
The main function to be aware of is the Latest Released label. Once an application is marked as Released, it means that when a mobile worker updates the application on their phone, CommCareHQ will send the most recently released version. You should be able to update your phone without re-installing your application with these steps:
Make a new version of the application on CommCareHQ
Click on Released, and notice that the version that you clicked this on has Latest next to it
Update the mobile app (see below)
