### AI overview

This article explains how Unfold at Squarespace changed its mobile release process from ad hoc, cumbersome releases to weekly release trains for Android and iOS. It describes shared release-captain responsibilities, limited manual intervention, Slack coordination, and remaining tasks such as checking translations and updating release notes.

### Source excerpt

On the Unfold team at Squarespace, our mobile releases don't require much in the way of manual intervention or human oversight. In fact, we don't have to give releases much thought at all. But, this was not always true. This post is a look into what these non-eventful mobile releases are like, dig into how much more eventful they used to be, and walk through the work it took us to get here.
