why is the release management so slow?

    We are trying to implement the release management to our workflow. But why is it soo damn slow?? I have spent all day so far creating the release candidate. It is totally lagging and just jerking. This is a very unsatisfying state.

    Mmh, for me it is not slow at all  :D


    I frequently need to release multiple drawings across various documents on Onshape. To speed up the process, I open up to five documents simultaneously and click on the 'Release' button in each tab. By the time I return to the first tab, it's usually finished loading, which significantly reduces my wait time.

    Following this thread.

    Haven't experienced slow performance, but definitely feel we are due for some significant improvements. As we grow our implementation the entire Release Process just feel as an unfinished solution.

    We were able to review the release process yesterday in another large project. There we had no problems with the speed.  In Axel's project, the release has been sent and the PC was left on overnight. This morning still nothing arrived at me. Feels like old CAD problems.

    @sebastian_glanznerwe know you would sent us an GIF. haha =)

    Could it be that it gets slower the more configurations are present ?

    In my project, there are just a few parts and (sub-) assemblys but everyone with at least 25 configs. May the speed depends on the numbers of configs, like René said.

    having the same problem.

    At the moment it feels like I spending almost 10-15 % percent of time waiting for workflow transitions and release updates. 😴

    I'm not sure why each configuration needs to be individually released. I have to disable release management for all of my configurations except for the main one.

    I don't know exactly how it works but I think every configuration you need to revision is basically duplicating each part it needs to load in the release management window, blowing up the load time.

    @Jack_Brentano It's very hard to tell without looking at your project, but perhaps if you are not treating individual configurations as separate parts from a release management point of view, you can use the "exclude from properties" option on the configuration inputs? Then BOMs and RM will treat all configurations as a single thing (using the default configuration).
