Releases

Guides for managing editor-assets bundles.

A Release is a combination of an MSquared Editor and an Engine Plugin. A Release allows customers to distribute their own content to their own user base along with the editor all in one go. Using Releases, customers can create and iterate on their own development kits to allow users to easily create content and experiences with a familar theme and feel.

Right now, only one Engine Plugin can be bundles with an Editor to form a Release.

A Release has the following information:
