Once a Release candidate has been created, you can include additional parts, Assemblies, Drawings, Variable Studios, or files from the document you are currently in that exist in the currently active workspace. Parts derived from another document in a Part Studio or linked from another document in an Assembly are included automatically in the Release candidate. Enterprise and Professional users can also add objects from another document to a release candidate.

Create a Release candidate. When the Create Release candidate dialog is open, you may begin to select additional objects for release:
