• Key Concepts: 
  A release object is a feature of the SAP General Application Functions (CA-GTF) component that allows users to control the release of documents and objects. It is used to ensure that only authorized users can access and modify documents and objects. The release object also provides a way to track changes made to documents and objects over time.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the release object, users must first create a release profile. This profile defines the roles and users who are allowed to access and modify documents and objects. Once the profile is created, users can assign it to a document or object. This will restrict access to only those users who have been granted permission in the profile. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a release profile, it is important to consider who needs access to the document or object. It is also important to consider how often the document or object will be modified, as this will determine how often the release profile needs to be updated.
