📄️ Set a Precondition on a Task
The execution flow can be controlled by setting a precondition on a task.
📄️ Test an Automated Task During Configuration
This topic explains how to test and refine automated tasks such as scripts, webhooks, or custom tasks in Release.
📄️ Task Abort Script
Using the Abort script property you can execute a Jython script when the task is aborted by the user. This script is defined by the property abortScriptLocation. The abort script is only supported by Jython tasks (extends="xlrelease.PythonScript").

📄️ Sequential Tasks With Parallel Groups
This topic explores how to configure sequential tasks with parallel groups in Release, allowing you to organize tasks that run sequentially within parallel execution groups.
