Why do I have to uncheck all of the boxes when I am releasing a file into production if that file is part of a larger set of files? If the file uses an excel file that has multiple configurations it wants to unrelease or release all at once. Why can't I opt in (checking) the ones I want instead of opting out (unchecking) the ones I don't want? The way it is now is very time consuming and it you don't uncheck all of the boxes the files get released. I like the old way better.
If you are describing what I think you are (the bit about Excel doesn't really make sense to me), it's a setting:
If you are the admin, change the setting. If you aren't the admin, ask the admin why it is set that way.
