How it's used
Focuses on the formal act of making information or products available to the public. It is frequently used in professional or media contexts, such as press releases or corporate announcements. While it sounds professional, it is not overly literary and fits perfectly into news reports or business discussions.
Examples
The government just announced the new policy.
When will they release this product?

Common mistake
Avoid using this for casual sharing of personal news between friends, where words like 話俾人知 or 公開 are much more natural. It implies an official or systematic release rather than a simple conversation.
