# Manage configuration items in a release

View and manage the configuration items \(CIs\) in a release. Use the associated CIs to manage change requests and tasks in the release.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_dpr\_model.product\_manager, sn\_dpr\_model.release\_coordinator, or sn\_dpr\_model.release\_admin

## About this task

You can add a specific configuration item to a phase only once, although it can be added to multiple phases in the release.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Digital Product Release Workspace**.

2.  Select the releases icon \(\[Omitted image "dpr-icon-release.png"\] Alt text: Releases icon.\).

3.  Select a release from the list to open.

4.  Select **Configuration items**.

    The list displays all CIs that are associated with the release.

5.  Add or remove configuration items.

**Add existing CIs to a release phase**

</td><td>

1.  Select **Add**.

A list of available configuration items displays as per the following conditions:

    -   When product-level release settings are configured, only the configuration items of CI classes defined in the release settings are available for selection. If no CI classes are configured in the product settings, all CI classes are available. For more information, see [Configure product-level release settings](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/digital-product-release/dpr-config-product-release-setting.md).

    -   CIs are filtered by lifecycle stage or operational status based on the value defined in the `sn_dpr.ci_default_query` system property. To control which CIs are available for selection, modify this property. For more information, see [Digital Product Release properties](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-service-management/digital-product-release/digital-product-release-properties.md).

2.  Select the CIs to add to the release.
3.  Select **Add**.
 The selected configuration items are added to the phase based on the **sn\_dpr.default\_phase\_for\_cis** system property.
