Add updates and try again.\"**\n\nIt has been verified via API that the release is **not empty** and actually contains associated events/updates. This indicates a false positive in the Admin interface validation that prevents manual publication before the scheduled time.\n\n## Simulation\n\n- Create a new Release in the **CMS / Releases** module.\n- Add updates/events to this release (ensure it is not empty).\n- Schedule this release for a future date.\n- Before the scheduled date, attempt to publish the release manually using the publish button in the Admin.\n- The system will display the error: _\"You can't publish an empty release. Add updates and try again.\"_\n\n## Workaround\n\nN/A"}
