# Release stage

### Definition

Release stages in Reflag are entities that allow setting up [app](/product-handbook/concepts/app.md)-wide [feature access](/product-handbook/concepts/feature.md#access) targeting rules. Each release stage defines [targeting rules](/product-handbook/concepts/targeting-rules.md) for each available [environment](/product-handbook/concepts/environment.md). Later, during the development of new features, you can apply all those rule automatically by selecting an available release stage.

Release stages are useful tools when a standard release workflow is used in your organization.

### Next steps
