You cannot change a released master record.

### Steps

2. Click the **Master data** tab.
3. In the list, find and select the record that you want to release.

> You can also **Release** a master record directly from a D365 F&SCM record page (**Action pane** > **Master data management** tab). You can only do this if the [dynamics menu form setup](/data-management/docs/set-up-dynamic-menu-form-setup-for-master-data-entity) is defined for the relevant master data entity.
6. If the master record must be released on a future date, you can define the planned release date. The planned release date is shown on the **Master data inbox**.

The master data messages, to send the released master record to the target companies or to the **MDM staging journal**, are only run if the planned release date is:

In the **Planned release date** field, enter a date and time.
