How do I create a software release in sbomify?

TL;DR

Upload your component SBOMs first, then create a product release that points to specific SBOMs. Each SBOM can have its own version and be shared across multiple releases.

Walkthrough

Creating a product release

A product release in sbomify ties together one or more component SBOMs under a single version tag. This is how you represent a shipped version of your software.

Prerequisites

Before creating a release, you need:

A product set up in sbomify (see How do products work?)
One or more components with uploaded SBOMs

Steps

Navigate to your Product
Click Create Release
Enter the release version (e.g. v2.1.0)
Select which SBOMs to include in this release
Click Save

How versioning works

Component SBOMs and product releases are versioned independently. For example, your product v2.1.0 might include a backend component at v1.8.3 and a frontend at v3.0.1. The same component SBOM can also be shared across multiple product releases - if two products ship the same library version, there’s no need to upload it twice.
