In WebCT CE 4, most of the tools had a selective release feature present on the page the tools existed in 'designer' view. The designer or instructor simply had to select the tool on the page and click on selective release to set time release, for example.

In WebCT Vista 4, selective release is not as transparent. To set the release criteria (i.e. time release) for folders, pages, weblinks, etc, the designer or instructor would have to be in 'build' tab and would have to click on the 'selective release' tool which is at the bottom of the page under 'designer tools'.

Learning Modules, in Vista, have the selective release visible in the tool itself so setting it does not involve going to another tool.
