What release rules control
Release rules determine what must happen before a trusted contact or requester can receive access to a collection.
Common release safeguards
- Waiting periods
- Trusted contact confirmations
- Collection-specific grants
- Additional approval thresholds
Why collections matter
Rules and access are applied at the collection level, so different groups of records can follow different release paths.
Can you change release rules later?
Yes. Owners can update release conditions, confirmation requirements, and contact grants over time.
