# wix app release

Starts a process that guides you through releasing a new [version](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/manage-your-app/versioning/about-app-versioning.md) of your app.

The command first uploads your build output to Wix's servers as a preview and displays links to that preview. It then creates the version from the preview and registers extensions in your app's configuration. Once complete, the CLI displays the version it created and links to the app dashboard.

Once the app version is released, you can [submit it for review](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/submit-your-first-app-version.md) to publish it to the [Wix App Market](https://www.wix.com/app-market). If you choose not to list your app in the Wix App Market, you can distribute your app by [sharing an install link](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/install-your-app/share-an-app-install-link.md) or [install it directly](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/install-your-app/install-your-app-directly-on-sites.md) on a site in your account.

> **Notes:**
>
> - This command uploads your project's build output, so you must run the [`build`](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/build.md) command after every change you want to release.
> - A release can include at most 5,000 static files.
