Octopus Deploy check packge before promoting to Production

Question

In development we version our builds like so:

0.0.0-{branch-name}+{short-git-hash}

Something like

0.0.0-add-new-button+8ad89d

For production releases our versions are normal SemVer:

1.2.3

I am trying to add a check in octo so that we can't promote any build/package that is a feature branch (0.0.0-add-new-button+8ad89d) or a dev branch (0.0.0-dev+8ad89d) build to Production.

I only want packages generated from master (1.2.3) to be allowed to be promoted to the Production Environment.

Octopus supports this using Channels. The various scenarios you mention are shown in an excellent video on this blog post.
