+The release panel (`OpenNest.Controls.ReleasePanel`) sits beside the Library and
+Sets tabs and holds one release in progress for both. Adding is a double-click
+(or Enter) in either list: a set is read with its members' current drawings and
+listed at one kit; a library drawing is read afresh and listed on its own at the
+Library tab's **Quantity**. Adding a set or drawing already listed adds to its
+quantity instead, so double-clicking a set twice makes it ×2 kits. An archived
+set or drawing is refused. Each line shows its name, its quantity (edited in
+place: 1 to 1000 kits of a set, multiplying its quantities, or 1 to 100,000
+pieces of a drawing) and **kits** or **pcs**; **✕** (or Delete) removes it. A
+drawing that a set also lists becomes one item with both quantities. Above the
+lines, the heading reads as a sentence of what is listed, such as "Release set
+'Frame kit' ×2", or the first few lines when there are several. Below them are
+the release's **Customer** (the one every line names, or left blank when they
+differ) and **Notes**. Closing the window keeps a release not yet made for the
+next time it opens in this run of OpenNest; it is not saved to disk.
 
-The common case needs nothing more: every releasable material makes a new Draft
-nest and **Nest after release** is ticked. **Options ▸** expands the choices that
-change that: a **Release** tick per group (refused groups cannot be ticked), the
-**Nest** column, and **Include archived drawings**, which puts archived members
-back in. A tick survives changing the sets, quantities or the archived toggle.
-Collapsing Options hides only what is at its default: an unticked group keeps the
-Release column shown, and a ticked Include archived drawings stays shown. The
-**Nest** column also shows, with a hint in the preview, whenever a Draft nest
-exists that a material could merge into.

-**Nest** is **New Draft nest** or **Merge into** one of the Draft nests of the

+  how many match;
+- with none, makes a new Draft nest ("→ new Draft nest");
+- when the draft it would merge into is open in a tab of this desktop, the row
+  says "N26-0007 is open — save and close it to merge into it" and **Make Nests**
+  waits: the tab could hold edits the merge would leave behind, and a parallel
+  nest is never made silently. Close the tab (the panel checks again when the

+Make Nests also waits until every chosen group's drafts have been looked up. A
+merge adds the demand to that draft's drawings and renests the whole draft: every
+sheet (placements, cutoffs, cut plans) is discarded and rebuilt, keeping
+drawing-level setup such as cut pins; **Undo Release** restores it. With **Nest
+after release** unticked, the row says the merged draft is left without sheets
+until it is nested.
+
+**Nest after release** (beside the button, ticked by default; the panel
+remembers the operator's last choice) runs Auto Nest on every released
 group, new or merged, before anything is saved (`OpenNest.Engine.Jobs.NestRenest`):
 every drawing's required quantity, the selected engine, sheets from the nest's
 plate defaults and plate-size options, as the Auto Nest dialog would offer them.
 A layout is kept only when it is valid; otherwise the nest is saved without
 sheets and its status says "Auto Nest could not keep a layout: open it and run
-Auto Nest". The status column lists each group's sheets and utilization, and any
+Auto Nest". The row lists each group's sheets and utilization, and any
 copies left unplaced, which stay as remaining quantity. Unticked, new nests are
 saved without sheets and merged drafts are left cleared for Auto Nest.
 
-**Make Nests...** confirms, then runs `OpenNest.Data.SetReleaseSession`: every ticked
-group's new nest is made as File > New would (the server's next nest name, the
-saved plate defaults and clamps), in the group's units, with the saved plate size
-and spacings converted (25.4 mm per inch) when those differ; the nest takes the
-group's material, grade and thickness, the sets' customer when they share one,
-and the **Draft** status (with drawings on their own, their library customers
-count too). A merged draft is saved only while nobody else has
-saved it since it was listed. Each created or merged nest opens in its own tab,
-bound to its server record, and the release (with the release notes) is
-recorded. A release with drawings on their own first checks that the server can
-record them (see below) and, on an older server, saves nothing and says so. The
-grid then shows every group's outcome: Created or Merged into with
-the nest name, Refused or Failed with the reason, or Not started. Cancel during
-preparing or nesting saves nothing; once saving starts it stops between saves,
-never during one. When every nest was saved but recording failed,
