How do I trigger a paused release stage?

Who can do this

Platform Admin or Infra Ops (or a SPOC for the stage's instances, depending on release configuration)

A stage with manual-trigger configuration sits at awaiting_trigger after the previous stage completes. Click Trigger to start deploying it.

Steps

1. Open Releases and click the release.
2. Find the stage in the pipeline — paused stages have a purple border and a Trigger button.
3. Click Trigger.

Result

The stage moves to deploying. Environment boxes flip to yellow while the rollout runs and green once each environment is deployed.

If the deploy fails on any environment, the stage moves to failed — review the per-environment logs in the box detail and decide whether to retry, hold, or roll back the release.
