Immediately release withheld episodes

Our Clip Insertion feature lets you add clips like ads or cross-promotions to your episodes using clip placeholders. If you create a new episode that includes placeholders, we’ll withhold your episode from being published until clip insertion can finish: this prevents your episode from being released without clips being added.

If you need an episode to go out immediately, we now show a banner at the top of the episode Overview tab that lets you publish the episode immediately (without clips). When clip insertion completes, new listens will include the inserted clips.
