+When the `released_at` date and time is not provided, the date and time of Release
+creation is used. The Evidence collection background job is immediately executed.
+
+If a future `released_at` is specified, the Release becomes an **Upcoming Release**. In this
+case, the Evidence is scheduled to be collected at the `released_at` date and time, via a
+background job.
+
+If a past `released_at` is used, no Evidence is collected for the Release.
