It’s form contains fields to set a choice of categories, platforms, licenses and versions of the product (for which the add-on is used). There are also fields to set the allowed file extensions of the add-on files, the image files (e.g. screenshots, logos) and the documentation.

• The release contains fields to upload files.

• The linked release provide fields for links to the release files.

• Both, release and linked release, contains fields to choose the product version, platform and licenses.

• The add-on send message once a new project was added. It push a message too, once a project was submitted for publication. It send an email to the project contact address for every change in the workflow status of the project.
