The guide
- Getting started What Swarm Release Manager is, how to sign in, and a quick tour of the app so you know where everything lives.
- Core concepts A plain-language glossary and mental model for SRM: releases, components, the dependency graph, claims, dispatch waves, findings, the deploy step, and live.
- The Releases list and the release screen A guided tour of the two screens you'll live in: the workspace Releases list, and the anatomy of a single release — its phases, dependency graph, work items, live claims, dispatch waves, findings, and deploy.
- Working a release How a release actually moves: work items flowing from Ready to Done, claiming and locks, dispatching a parallel wave and watching it, and reading review findings — what you do versus what you watch happen.
- Deploying a release What happens when a release ships: the Merging → Deploying → Smoke-testing → Monitoring → Shipped progression, what runs on its own, and where a person steps in — including the rollback path.
- Understanding the Live indicator What the Live, Reconnecting, and Stale states mean, why screens sometimes switch to polling, and how to read "updated Xs ago".
