Once a music release is submitted on SunoDistro, it enters a structured review and delivery process. Because music is distributed to multiple platforms, edits and updates are not always instant or unlimited. This guide explains when a release can be edited, what types of changes are allowed, and how to request updates correctly through support.

Understanding these rules helps avoid confusion, repeated requests, and unnecessary delays.

What Does “Edit or Update a Release” Mean?

Editing or updating a release refers to making changes to release information after the initial submission. These changes usually apply to metadata or store settings, not the audio itself.

Examples of updates include:

• Correcting a spelling mistake

• Updating artwork

• Adjusting store selection

• Fixing metadata inconsistencies

Edits are handled through SunoDistro support, not directly from the dashboard once a release is submitted.

When a Release Can Be Edited

Before Approval

If your release has not yet been approved, certain updates may be possible. In this stage, changes are easier to process because the music has not been delivered to stores.

After Approval or Store Delivery

Once a release is approved and delivered, updates become limited. Stores have strict rules, and not all changes are accepted after delivery.

This is why reviewing your release carefully before submission is strongly recommended.

Changes That Require a Support Ticket

All post-submission updates must be requested by raising a support ticket. Common editable requests include:

• Minor title or spelling corrections

• Artist name formatting fixes

• Artwork replacement (if compliant)

• Store availability changes

When submitting a ticket, clearly mention:

• Release name

• Track title

• Specific change required

• Reason for the update

Incomplete requests may take longer to process.

Changes That Are NOT Allowed

Certain changes are restricted due to platform and industry rules. These include:

• Replacing or modifying the audio file

• Major artist name changes

• Ownership or rights changes

• Changing release type (single to album)

If such changes are needed, a new release may be required instead.

Processing Time for Release Updates

Editing a release is not instant. Once a support request is approved:

• Updates must be reprocessed

• Stores may take time to apply changes

• Availability timing can vary by platform

This delay is normal and depends on store policies.

Best Practices to Avoid Future Edits

To reduce the need for updates:

• Upload final audio files only

• Double-check metadata before submission

• Ensure artwork meets all guidelines

• Confirm artist name consistency

Proper preparation saves time and avoids unnecessary revisions.

Conclusion

Editing or updating a release on SunoDistro is possible in specific cases, but it is subject to clear rules and limitations. All changes must be requested through support, and not all updates are permitted after approval.

By understanding what can be edited, how to request changes correctly, and when a new release is required, you can manage your music catalog more efficiently and avoid delays.

Always review your release carefully before submitting to ensure a smooth distribution process.
