# wix release

Starts a process that guides you through releasing your project. Releasing pushes your project to Wix's servers and publishes it. Once complete, the CLI displays preview URLs for your project and dashboard, along with the published project URL.

For apps specifically, this command releases a new [version](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/manage-your-app/versioning/about-app-versioning.md) of your app. This also registers extension components in your app's configuration. Some extensions won't work until you've run `release`.

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/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-directly-on-sites.md) on a site within your account.

>**Note:** Before releasing the project, run the [build](https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/command-reference/project-commands/build.md) command.
