# rig app-release activate

> Activate a ready app release staged with deploy --sync-only

Available **local and workspace**. Reference source: CLI `0.13.0-rc.5` (`824aefd6ad16`).

Use this command from your local terminal. Workspace-mode syntax, when available, is listed separately below. The workspace must already be running. If it is inactive, the command stops with a warning. Start it explicitly with `rig workspace start --workspace WORKSPACE_ID`, then submit the release action again.

## Examples

> [!WARNING]
>
> This command changes an existing resource or its configuration and may affect a running application. Confirm the target and review the complete help before running the example.

Run from your local terminal. Replace uppercase placeholders with your own values. This invocation performs the operation described above.

```bash theme={null}
rig app-release activate --workspace WORKSPACE_ID --release RELEASE_ID
```

Inspect the supported arguments before running this command. Help is offline and does not modify resources.

```bash theme={null}
rig app-release activate --help
```

## Local syntax

```text theme={null}
Usage: rigbox app-release activate [OPTIONS] --workspace <WORKSPACE> --release <RELEASE>
```
