Once you have created a release in Fanaura, you have full control to edit and fine-tune every aspect of it. This guide covers everything you can do from the release management page.

​
Accessing the Release Management Page

  1. Navigate to Assets > Music.
  2. Click on any release in your list to open its detail/management page.
The management page is your command center for that release. It combines editing tools, analytics, streaming link management, and campaign controls all in one place.

​
Editing Release Details

​
Song Title

Click on the song title or the Edit button to modify the title. The title appears on your smart link page, in your assets list, and in any analytics or exports. When you change the title, the URL slug does not automatically change (to avoid breaking existing shared links). If you need a new URL slug, contact support.

​
Artist Name

Your artist name is pulled from your account profile. If you need to change it, update it in Settings > Profile and it will reflect across all your releases.

​
Album Name

Edit the album name from the release detail page. This is displayed alongside your track information and is included in metadata lookups.

​
Changing Artwork

Your artwork is the most prominent visual element on your smart link page. To change it:
  1. On your release management page, locate the artwork section.
  2. Click the Upload button or drag a new image onto the artwork area.
  3. The new artwork replaces the old one immediately.
Requirements:
  • Maximum file size: 5 MB
  • Supported formats: JPG, PNG, WebP
  • Recommended dimensions: 3000 x 3000 pixels (square)
Tip: If you change your artwork after your pre-save campaign is live, the new artwork appears immediately on your smart link page. This can be useful for artwork reveals — start with a teaser image and swap it out on announcement day.

​
Updating Dates

You can modify all three key dates from the release management page:

​
Announcement Date

Change the date you plan to announce (or announced) the release. This is primarily for your own planning and timeline reference.

​
Pre-Save Date

Change when pre-saves open. If you move the pre-save date to the future, the page reverts to a “Coming Soon” state. If you move it to the past (or today), pre-saves become active immediately.

​
Release Date and Time

Change when the song officially releases. This is the most impactful date change because it controls:
  • When pre-saves are executed (saves to fan libraries)
  • When your smart link page converts from “Pre-Save” to “Stream Now”
  • When automatic streaming link fetching begins
Important: If fans have already pre-saved and you move the release date, their pre-saves are still valid. They will execute on the new date.

​
Timezone

You can change the timezone associated with your dates. This affects when all date-based actions trigger.
While Fanaura auto-fetches streaming links via your ISRC on release day, you can also add or edit links manually at any time.

​
Standard Streaming Platforms

Each major platform has its own row in the Streaming Links section:
  1. Scroll to the Streaming Links section on your release page.
  2. Find the platform you want to add (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, etc.).
  3. Paste the URL into the input field.
  4. Use the toggle switch to enable or disable the link on your smart link page.
  5. Choose a button action (Stream, Listen, Buy, Watch, Download) from the dropdown.
To add a link to a platform or service not in the standard list:
  1. Click ”+ Add Custom Link” at the bottom of the streaming links section.
  2. Enter a label (what the button will say).
  3. Paste the URL.
  4. Fanaura automatically detects the website’s favicon for the button icon.
  5. Toggle the link on or off and set its display order.
Drag and drop links using the grip handle to reorder them. The order you set here is the order fans see on your smart link page. Put your most important platform first.

​
ISRC Management

​
Adding or Updating Your ISRC

If you did not add your ISRC during creation, or if you need to correct it:
  1. Go to your release management page.
  2. Find the ISRC field (usually near the top or in a metadata section).
  3. Enter or update your ISRC code.
  4. Save the change.

​
ISRC Lookup

After entering an ISRC, you can trigger a manual lookup:
  1. Click the “Lookup” or “Search” button next to the ISRC field.
  2. Fanaura searches the Odesli API for your track.
  3. If found, a comparison modal shows the discovered data vs. your current data.
  4. Select which fields to import (artwork, album name, release date, streaming links).
  5. Click “Apply” to import the selected fields.
This is especially useful for adding older releases that are already live on streaming platforms — one ISRC lookup can populate all your links at once.

​
Music Videos

You can link music videos to your releases directly from the management page:
  1. Click “Add Music Video” on your release page.
  2. Search for the video by title, or paste a YouTube URL directly.
  3. The video is embedded on your release page and visible on your smart link page.
  4. Fans can watch the video right on your landing page without leaving.
You can add multiple videos to a single release (official video, lyric video, behind-the-scenes, etc.).

​
Presave Campaign Controls

The release management page includes controls for your active pre-save campaign:

​
Campaign Status

See the current status of your pre-save campaign:
  • Scheduled — Pre-save date is in the future
  • Active — Fans can currently pre-save
  • Executing — Release date has arrived, pre-saves are being processed
  • Completed — All pre-saves have been executed

​
Platform Toggles

Enable or disable specific platforms for pre-saving. If you want to focus only on Spotify, turn off the other platforms.

​
Data Collection Settings

Configure what information fans are asked to provide when pre-saving. This is managed through the data wrapper settings on the Assets page.

​
Visibility Toggle

Control whether this release appears on your public smart link page:
  • Visible (green toggle): The release appears on your artist page and is accessible via its smart link.
  • Hidden (gray toggle): The release is removed from your artist page but its direct smart link still works if someone has the URL.
Use visibility to:
  • Prepare a release before making it public
  • Hide old releases to keep your page focused on current content
  • Temporarily remove a release during a rebranding or catalog update

​
Archiving Releases

When a release cycle is complete and you want to clean up your dashboard:
  1. Go to the release management page.
  2. Look for the Archive option (usually in a dropdown menu or settings section).
  3. Click to archive the release.
Archived releases:
  • Are removed from your active assets list
  • Retain all data, analytics, and fan records
  • Can be un-archived at any time
  • Still work via direct smart link URLs

​
Drag-to-Reorder in Assets List

The order of releases on your smart link page is controlled from the main Assets list:
  1. Go to Assets > Music.
  2. Switch to List View if you are not already in it.
  3. Grab the drag handle (six-dot icon) on any release.
  4. Drag up or down to reorder.
  5. Release to save the new order.
The top release in your list appears first on your public artist page. Put your newest or most promoted release at the top.

​
Deleting a Release

To permanently delete a release:
  1. Go to the release management page.
  2. Look for the Delete button (usually a trash can icon, often in a danger zone at the bottom).
  3. Confirm the deletion.
Warning: Deleting a release permanently removes it, its analytics, and its fan interaction data. This action cannot be undone. If you want to keep the data but hide the release, use the visibility toggle or archive feature instead.

​
Common Questions

​
Can I change the URL slug of my release?

URL slugs are auto-generated from your song title when the release is created. To avoid breaking existing shared links, slug changes are not available through the UI. If you need a new slug, reach out to support.

​
What happens to pre-saves if I edit the release?

Pre-saves are unaffected by edits to title, artwork, or links. If you change the release date, pre-saves execute on the new date. If you delete the release, pending pre-saves are cancelled.

​
Can I duplicate a release?

Currently, there is no duplicate feature. You will need to create a new release and enter the details again. However, ISRC lookup can auto-fill most fields for tracks that are already on platforms.

​
Can I have multiple active pre-save campaigns at the same time?

Yes. Each release has its own independent pre-save campaign. You can run as many simultaneous campaigns as you want.
