# Identical releases across multiple fleets |

To bring it as more of an action word, how about we do the title as
Share releases with multiple fleets
|
||
It is common to use multiple fleets on {{$names.company.lower}} to organize application development and fleet operations. Some users dedicate fleets to development and testing, pushing only tested code to production fleets. Others may use a "canary" fleet with a subset of production devices for additional testing before full deployment. | ||
|
||
Testing can take time, and building a release from the same source may produce a different image than before due to updated external dependencies or mutable Dockerfile base images (e.g., latest). Consequently, a release built later might behave differently. |

To ensure the exact version of a tested release is deployed across fleets, you can export a release bundle file from an app, block, or fleet. This bundle allows you to import an identical copy of the release into another fleet. Unlike [{{$names.company.lower}} deploy][balena-deploy], which pushes images built locally, importing a release doesn't require a Docker engine on your machine. |

## Importing a Release | ||
|
||
You can import a release from a release bundle into a {{$names.company.lower}} app, block, or fleet. This creates the release in the specified fleet with the version defined in the release manifest within the release bundle. Additionally, the images for the release are uploaded to the registry during the import process. |

__Note:__ The revision number of the release's semantic version (semver) will not be set on the imported release. This number is automatically iterate by the {{$names.company.lower}} API when a release with the same semantic version already exists in the app, block, or fleet. |

Releases can be imported to multiple fleets. A new fleet can be created, and a release from an older fleet can be imported into it. |

Not sure what the purpose of this sentence is 🤔 Seems obvious to me but idk
