When you Release a data type, any changes you have made are sent to the server, even if you then click Cancel to leave the dialog box.

Once released, an element is shown as “Free for reservation” in the Info Tag.

It can now be reserved by another user.

If any user has already sent in a request for this element, then he/she will automatically receive the element (and a message) as soon as it released.

Before releasing a modified element, you must send your changes to the server:
