Releasing custom UML profiles

Releasing a custom UML profile ensures that you cannot make changes to a profile that adversely affect models that have the released profile applied to them. After you release a profile, you cannot delete or rename the stereotypes, stereotype attributes, classes, enumerations, or metaclass extensions of a released profile. You can only make changes that are compatible with the released version of your profile.

Before you can release a custom UML profile, the profile must be open in the Model Explorer view.
Important: You should only release a profile when you are ready to deploy it.
To release a custom UML profile:
  1. In the Model Explorer view, right-click a profile; then click Release.
  2. In the Release Profile window, in the Release Label field, type a name. The release information is displayed in the Properties view on the General page.
  3. Click OK.
